Some people have become disillusioned with the way The Freecycle Network is run, but there are dozens of other ways to freely recycle your unwanted used items.

Grow your own salad, save food miles, avoid pesticides, fertilisers and herbicides. Eat tastier healthier food and save money. What more do you want?

So much money is wasted on food. Keep it simple. Keep it local. Keep it cheap.

Making preserves is a great way to reduce food miles, take control of what you eat, and get back in touch with the cycles of nature. Chutneys are the easiest preserves of all.

Reducing, reusing, recycling, composting, and minimizing our consumption are great ways to help the planet AND save money. When we give up paper towels to reduce our waste we are saving money. When we make our own planet friendly cleaners we are saving money. When we put old milk jugs in the toilet to conserve water we are saving money. The same action serves two purposes.
