New ways to get rid of stuff

"Packrats Hooked on Freecycling" looks at a new Internet trend in dealing with the junk we buy, but don't really need. Rebecca Williams offers a fresh take on this problem in our over-consumptive society. She found a network of givers and takers for all that stuff we have. We follow Rebecca as she tries to get rid of a SCUBA wetsuit (no she doesn't SCUBA dive)and find a home where it will get used. Like any good reporter, she's skeptical about this "Freecycling" idea, but tries it out first hand.
It's a fun piece.
This is the second piece in the "Your Choice; Your Planet" series offered by the Great Lakes Radio Consortium. It was first offered to GLRC stations in May. It is not dated.
