Everyone is welcome, and you don't need to bring stuff to take stuff!

Reduce waste, reduce consumption

Take some time in the next day or so to go through your “stuff” and see what you don't use. Someone else can give a second life to things that are still usable, wearable, readable, playable, etc. But please use common sense; don't bring animals, open food, dangerous items, broken stuff, junk, etc.

Instead of contributing to a landfill (bad), bring your stuff to the FreeMeet (good) and save someone the trouble of buying what you can provide for free! read more...

...shopping with good conscience; it’s good for the earth and good for your wallet. Bring stuff you don’t need, take stuff you do. A giant swapfest. By freecycling, you

• reuse quality goods,
• reduce waste,
• reduce consumption

- – a win-win-win for everyone. The MIT FreeMeet is the brainchild of Kathreen Thome, an MIT junior studying nuclear science and engineering. See more about the FreeMeet on this short video.

No this guy carrying the television set down the stairs of the Stratton Center at MIT is not a thief or a moving man; he is participating in MIT's first FreeMeet. It's like a flea market, but it's free.

"And can you keep an eye out for a microwave?" he asks Kathreen Thome and Eva Cheung, the two students taking check-ins. "And if you see one, can you just sort of hold onto it for me? I'll be back..."

Free TV? Free Microwave? Wait a sec...!

This morning I braved the snow and checked out the FreeMeet at MIT. Although it was still early and people were still bringing in their “stuff”, already clothing, kids’ toys, electronic, books, and kitchen items were accumulating on tables around the edge of LaSala Room on the second floor. read more...
