Buying reused stuff is the most environmentally friendly way to shop. What is even better is getting it for free. A new service called Yoink lets you use your iphone to locate free stuff stuff near you. While other sites like Craigslist and and Freecycle offer a similar service, Yoink allows stuff to be located using GPS and never requires shipping.
The app includes a way you can upload a picture from the camera on you phone and immediately post it with a short description and your location. If you don't have an iphone, you can use the website to upload photos and post the location of your items.
We all have stuff that we don't need. Any way to efficiently get that stuff to those who need it, reduces our overall environmental impact and saves on energy and money. It's a win-win!
