FACEBOOK GOES GREEN

Ever thought that the social networking site we religiously follow was capable of something like this? Well, here’s your answer. A set of people have come together to form a group which is called “Second to None” on this most popular networking site.

This forum is for used/ recycled/ up cycled goods. Their motto- Reuse. Recycle. Find a new lease of life for objects around you. Don't discard; resell. Don't waste; share. Before you buy new, discover the charm of the old. 

Things you can sell:
- Used goods
- Upcycled goods (some parts of the product must be recycled / old / waste material)
- Any material that can be recycled
- Bought, but never used
- Gifted, but have no use for.
- Items in BULK / LARGE numbers (should be noted as not used first, before posting) 

Things you CANNOT sell:
- New products
- Real estate, Time shares
- Advertisements for services not related to recycling, classes and workshops NOT related to recycling.
- Old stock from stores
- Surplus stock from stores/factories
- Export rejects, or any rejected products by businesses
- Pets, and products made from animals (like peacock feathers, etc.)
- Food.

What about ideas and links:
- You CAN post recycling ideas, share pictures from other sites, discuss non-product related things directly on their Wall. Recycling ideas can also be posted in the album of that name.

How do I post items for sale?

Category based albums have been created:
- Click the Photos tab in the group page. 
- Read the Category descriptions. 
- Select the category-album in which your product belongs. 
- Upload photos of your products in these albums ONLY.

We must give these ladies a hand for their effort in bringing about a change by putting to good use the old time saying – Reuse, Recycle, Reduce. Many schools also participate along with this foundation by setting up Second to None fairs which give the moms a chance to clean out their house and get rid of their “garbage” for a reasonable price. As the saying goes, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” So before throwing out what you consider trash, consider making some money out of cleaning out your rooms. Go Green and make other people happy with what you don’t need any more.
