Swap Your Way To A Greener Home

Published by ushakrishnan at 12:20 am under Things you really should know Edit This

The kids are outgrowing their clothes and toys faster than you can buy them. You wish you could treat yourself to a new dress and perhaps some shoes, but money is tight and so is your wardrobe space. Your home could do with a bit of updating, but you’re loath to throw away your old furniture. Sounds familiar? Most of us would love to update our clothes, furniture, kids toys etc, but it all costs money, not to mention that extra space you have to make for it.

Enter good old fashion bartering. You want something someone else has; they want something you have - a simple exchange and you are both happy. You don’t have to spend money or throw away stuff, which means the planet has with one less landfill to accommodate.
