April
2005 Philly's Earth Day Fair, partnered with the Wissachickon Charter
School, when we brought together over 20 local
environmental groups around Philly's first Free-for-All. Also,
the debut of the Green Business Directory of green,
sustainable & locally owned businesses.
Aug 2004 We created a
regional spin-off for Philly’s Northwest, the NWPhillyFreecycle group, now with
almost 1000 members of it's own, designed for more local exchanges
and less driving. The A-Z directory of local
reuse and recycling options was also created. It's grown and
maintained since, often by PhillyFreecycle member submissions.
May 2004 Made our
presence public with a table at the Mt Airy Day, where we promoted
clean wind energy & compact fluorescent bulbs.
Nov 2003 We
launched and continue to run the immensely popular PhillyFreecycle, an online materials
exchange with over 7000 families having fun giving and getting stuff
for free, diverting 15 tons of material per month from the
dump.
