Free For All has a website!!!
Approximately 18 months ago a group called Free For All eas created to divert usable items from the waste stream. We have really battled in our journey but We have continued to give free stuff to the community for that whole time with NO conditions! We have been posting in local for sale groups but my dream is to go nationwide and even international. We have been doing this and it works.
"About 18mths ago we started an organisation called Free For All. We believe that there is enough "stuff" in the world and we should start sharing more. We have created this amazing website where everything on it is free. It doesn't matter if you can afford to go out and buy it new or not it is about using the items that have already been made to the fullest before they are recycled or taken to landfill.
The thing is this website is usable all over NZ. All you do is register (which is free) and list the items you wish to share within the community (No naughty stuff e.g. guns. Alcohol etc hehe). It will be published on the website and when someone wants the item you are offering they reserve it and contact you via email to arrange collection and of course you can reserve items as well but the thing is you can only get what people are sharing. So for this to work people need to give away stuff as well as reserve stuff. So if you are about to have a spring clean please think about sharing directly with your community !
Our goal is to keep usable items out of landfill by sharing. Will you help us?"
No one gets paid. We fundraise to cover costs, which often aren't covered so my husband and I find the money. I gave up my teaching career and commit myself fulltime to this because I believe in it.
Thanks for taking time to read this.

Mouse in the house
After finding an electrical cable that has been chewed by mice I went on the offensive and bought some traps from Envirotools a couple weeks ago. I bought one that mounts into the ceiling and is accessed from below and 2 mice/rat traps.
We have caught one mouse in the kitchen, 9 in the roof and a rat under the house in just 2 weeks. I had heard that if you see a mouse in the house you will have multiple in the roof but I hadn't thought it would be anything like that. The really cool thing about the ceiling one is that when the trap goes off a little red button pops down and lets you know it's sprung so you don't have to keep checking it
With so many different traps available it's nice to find one that works really well
Share your New Zealand music memories...
It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.
Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.
In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.
Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.
