Members were asked: Has your family begun addressing the concept of money and how it is changing? Are you exchanging, bartering, gifting, or joining groups or projects that are restoring the concept of the exchange of goods and services that are providing basic needs?

I am an active member of Freecycle, which I use to give away items I don't need, as well as find items that I do need! I think it's a really wonderful resource, since it operates entirely outside of the currency system, and does a great job keeping items out of landfills. I also participate in Paperback Swap and BookMooch, where I swap books that I've already read for new (to me) books. Incidentally, I've been reading a lot more this past year! I would love to find others in my area who would be willing to barter/swap for goods and services, but I'm not entirely sure how to go about doing this. Perhaps that will be a goal this year, to set up a network of this sort...

I started the year with a trade and it feels great. I needed some video editing work done and found someone to do it. They will get a piece of artwork in exchange. I also am waiting for some handcrafted soap to arrive from HerbanLifestyle and t-shirts are in route to her at this very moment. More and more, I am seeing the world differently, redefining my needs and seeking alternatives to get things done.
