One man's trash is another man's treasure...

-From the Thursday morning interview with Jason Pangiarella; Success Coordinator, NCTC Thief River Falls.

A lot of great stuff gets tossed in the trash for many bad reasons. Mostly, we sometimes just don't know what to do with certain items, so we just toss them in the garbage and send them on their way to be buried in a landfill. A lot of these items can still be of good use. The topic in this morning's interview with Jason was about a really great idea that helps solve this problem. The Freecycle Network is a non-profit group that allows you to post items like these online. The whole process is free too! You never know what you'll find, and you might find out that what you thought was useless, can become the answer to someone elses need. And you can help preserve the environment in the process.
