[Lapg] Fw: give your stuff away day May 15

[Joan Stevens]

Hmmm... Sounds like something worth participating in.
 "...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter." 


- Bill Mollison

>Give Your Stuff Away Day – Free Stuff all over the place
> 
>Rochester,  NY – Free stuff will be available in neighborhoods all over  America on May 15, 2010. It’s an event Mike Morone is hoping to establish world-wide twice annually. The event could eventually help millions, while diminishing landfills, reducing clutter, and boosting the economy.
> 
>Many of us own valuable stuff we just don’t want anymore. But instead of giving it away or selling it, we allow it to clutter our households and businesses. Billions of great items are just wasting away, taking up space. 
>
>Wouldn’t it be cool if we could magically shift ownership of this stuff, in one weekend, coast to coast, with zero effort, little time, and at no cost? 
>
>Cool happens on May 15, 2010. It’s called Give Your Stuff Away Day and it will work (almost) like magic, as long as we promote the idea and follow common sense procedures. 
>
>On May 15, bring your valuable, but unwanted stuff to your curb. Some guidelines - no trash, recyclables, illegal or dangerous items. No food, drugs, chemicals, or weapons. Just safe, valuable items we would like to donate. Then watch the fun – or better yet, take a walk and find some free stuff you can use.
> 
>A few warnings:  Give Your Stuff Away Day can get a bit messy, but it’s worth it.  Trash hauling expenses could spike that week. But in the long run, fewer items in landfills equate to lower hauling expenses.
> 
>Local governments won’t like it – until they understand how beneficial it can be. Last month, Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell became the first elected official to understand that. Read about it here, and please call Mike Morone if you would like to discuss this event.
