The Freecycle Network


The Freecycle Network TFN, or Freecycle is a private, nonprofit organization registered in Arizona and is a charity in the United Kingdom. TFN coordinates a worldwide network of "gifting" groups to divert reusable goods from landfills. The network enables a worldwide online registry, organizing the setting of local groups as alive as forums for individuals together with nonprofits to advertisement or a formal message requesting something that is shown to an control free items for reuse or recycling and to promote a gift economy. In contrast, although flea markets and swap meets also contribute to the 3 R's reduce, reuse, recycle, they involve mainly buying and selling or bartering rather than gifting.

Anarchist analysis


Anarchist activist and author Peter Gelderloos has both praised and criticised TFN for devloping a decentralised sustainable miniature gift economy, but non providing a script to criticise capitalism.
