Diversification of online gifting networks – birth of Freegle
After a schism within the UK end of the freecycle network, due to the Amerigocentric nature of the organisation, many Freecycle groups have moved over to a new grouping, known as Freegle (“Free Giving, Locally and Easily”)
Although the name has changed, the groups’ purpose remains the same: keeping otherwise usable items from landfill and reducing the environmental impact of modern life on a venerable and vulnerable planet.
