Tomoko's Blog

Originally I made this blog to communicate with with my friends I made with in London . I arrived in London at 14th April 2005 and this is my start studying here. I like computer staff and would like to develop knowledge in that field . I am getting some knowledge from my friends who are so much in that field. So I would like to try what I get and put them on this blog which is useful and understandable for non computer expert person besides my personal diary.

freecycle

I heard Freecycle movement start somewhere in America. Freecycle movement is the activity giving things for free instead of wasting to protect the environment.
Since I am poor, of course, I am interested in.
Of course I do not mind giving things for free which I do not need and I am throwing away if I have that kind of things if I have sth like that.
Therefore I am entitle to apply for register.
I check the Tokyo Freecycle branch. Currently there are around five hundred people are belonging. To be honest, not really big number.
I applied and successfully I am accepted. When I applied to register, most of the document are often English. I guess, this Tokyo branch is organized by western people
who are transfered to Japan and so on.
Maybe Japanese people do not like used things so this system might not work for Japanese.
However , Japanese people might not mind giving things which they need. They just do not want to use used things.
I guess we can think some modified way of freecycle moment for Japanese.
Do you have any idea?
