The Buy Nothing Project Golden Rules
Hi, can I borrow a cup of sugar?
The Buy Nothing Project is a global network in community-based groups. It is an initiative based on a hyper-local gift economy. In other words: you share what you have with your local community; aka neighbours; and expect nothing in return but a warm smile. Although you are always welcome to give extra time, a talent or a skill if you really have nothing tangible to give. Please don’t confuse, this is not a charity program.
Do you remember it was common to borrow a cup of sugar from the neighbours or when you even knew their faces?
I discovered The Buy Nothing Project a month ago and I am amazed at this:
How much we can store in our houses without noticing
I have met people and read posts that say: I don’t know where this came from. — Really, people?
Stored things are a nuisance if they don’t have a use
Look around you and you will find things that are there sitting waiting for their turn to be used. Then use them or get rid of them!
