Freecycle

What is Freecycle?
     Freecycle aims to keep items out of landfills by providing an internet listings service to help people give unwanted items to someone else for free. Keeping stuff out of landfills helps build a sustainable future, is good for the environment and builds local and world communities.
     Freecycle (officially known as The Freecycle Network) is made up of thousands of groups with millions of members across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving and getting stuff for free. Freecycle groups operate in specific towns or areas - so it's local as well as global.

Is there anything which isn't suitable?

• No pornography
• No alcohol
• No tobacco
• No drugs (of any kind, including all medicines, vitamins, creams, etc.)
• No firearms or other weapons

Does it cost anything?
     No, it's absolutely free. It's free to join, it's free to post messages, and everything offered on Freecycle must be free as well.

~LEARNING RESOURCES ~

Here I will compile, update and add to a list of ways I learned how to learn. Like most, I'm tired of reading those articles of number of things they did to cope or overcome their weaknesses. I have inattentive ADHD, anxiety, depression and ODD thus learning, studying and remembering don't come easy for me. That is why I'd like to share a list of things that help me so hopefully I can help you! Also please feel free to contact me with anything you'd like to add to the list...Teamwork!!
