I thought with the credit crunch and all, this might be a good time to discuss and share ideas on Recycling and the barter system.
I will start with the barter system, of course money is useful, it is a representation of a value but I would like for you all to share your experiences of people helping each other to both of their advantages.
An example, my roof had a leek last autumn, a friend knew a roofer, the roofer has a potato field but no tractor, my friend has a tractor but needs someone to help him cut the wood for winter.
Do you see where this is going?
We all came out happy:)
Of course recycling is not just putting plastic bottles into recycling bins. Although this also cuts on waste charges.
Have you any tips on how to reuse things?
The guy across the road from me, has a tractor he made himself.
I have just broken up the last of an old fence to use as fire wood.
I used to reuse stamps.
Any more examples?
Just a tip if you want a few quid in Poland, apply for a telephone line, I applied last year and now the postman comes around with 50 Zlotys from the telephone company, he has just been and gone :)
