If you are like me, you’re giddy with delight when you stumble across a great deal at a yard sale, on Craigslist, or even at Goodwill. Perhaps you’re a coupon queen, and consistently clip and utilize coupons, beaming with pride after trips to the grocery store that don’t break the bank.
Maybe you’re not even ashamed to admit that you’ve stopped to pick up “bargains” you’ve spotted on the side of the road. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, after all.

■ Discover Freecycle.
We are big fans of this idea – if you are moving home, Freecycle is a brilliant source of free furniture and equipment that you might not be able to afford to buy new. The people running the local sites can be pedantic about the way the ads are worded, though, and there are often many more people wanting things than offering them. You will need to be quick if you see something you like.

You don’t need to contribute to our island’s landfill problems just because you have stuff that needs to go. Instead, how about donating all that useless but otherwise still viable hardware to the recycling day at Baldwin High School?
Hammerhead Recycling and Community Work Day Program have hui’d together to coordinate this day of sustainability with several other of the island’s recycling agencies. On Saturday, Feb. 25, bring scrap metal, bicycles, appliances, beverage containers, cooking oil, cellular phones, household batteries, vehicle batteries, laptop batteries, printer cartridges, newspaper, cardboard, telephone books, magazines, plastic grocery bags, used eye glasses, hearing aids, books, reusable paint, clothing and other household items to the high school between 8am and 2pm. You will be rid of these items, and keep them out of the landfill.

« Don après don, nous changeons le monde ». Derrière ce slogan aux accents utopistes, il s’agit d’une démarche tout ce qu’il y a de plus pragmatique : au lieu de jeter, donnez! C’est le credo des Freecycle (« free » comme gratuit, « cycle » comme recycler), un mouvement né aux Etats-Unis, qui fait une percée en France.
En 2003, lassé du spectacle des décharges encombrées d’objets réutilisables, Deron Beal, un habitant de Tucson, dans l’Arizona, a créé le premier groupe Freecycle avec des amis. Neuf ans plus tard, il compte près de 9 millions d’adeptes dans le monde, — ils sont déjà 45 000 en France, dont plus de 10 000 en région parisienne.
