Don't Buy July
We all love buying new stuff. It’s therapy right? But the environment and our hip pockets aren’t feeling so cheery.
For the month of July what if we decided to think before we buy. To get the things we need second-hand. Not stuff like groceries, but stuff like a bike or a port-a-cot or a lamp. Maybe a lama?
So we don’t buy new. We don’t contribute to land-fill. And we save ourselves a bit of mula.
Give or swap. If you have something perfectly good but don’t need it, don’t send it to landfill, list it on furcle.
Find stuff. Don’t rush to the shops in July, find what you need on furcle. It’s Australia’s new online garage sale.
It’s free. It’s simple. It’s local. It’s about re-use.
Sign up at furcle.com. Where stuff comes full circle.
