Freegle is a grassroots recycling community who come together online www.ilovefreegle.orgto recycle their unwanted goods locally and thus keep landfill to a minimum. It's free to join and no money ever changes hands.
This online network see's limited interaction face to face but online it is a thriving community. My thanks go to all the Freegle members in Waltham Forest and Hackney who've participated in this project and for their shared enthusiasm and support.
This work is published in the first issue of National Geographic 'Green' December 2009 to illustrate Sarah Lonsdale's article on recycling initiatives.
