Brilliant movement. App is better than FB
So proud of this global movement started by a few woman in WA! BuyNothing has changed how I view community giving, vulnerable asking, buying and even donating. Ive never met more neighbors and kind strangers than through this movement.
*The app has more features, freedom, larger communities and more than the FB groups and I encourage everyone to prioritize the app. The way it’s run is also truer to the original movement*
It means so much more, and I can more easily part with more things knowing they’re going directly into the hands of someone appreciative and for the sake of giving vs. to corporate thrift store profits or the pain of trying to sell things. We give raves for people we have good experiences with (prompt pick ups etc) to help inform and positive experiences.
In return, receiving asks is beautiful and I’m amazed at the generosity of the community and the valuable items I’ve seen people give freely. It’s really changed how I view $ value.
Yes the app has lots of bugs but this is a grassroots movement! *They work with the volunteer resources they have and if everyone who complained donated instead, BN could be so much more, sooner.*
