A question about : How many vegans on board?

Wasn't sure where to put this, thought here was best because it is an environmental topic too.

*is nosy*

Btw I haven't put this thread here to debate about veganism, if you don't agree with it put yer own d@mn thread up

A question about : Freecycle is it corrupt??

Seems like a lot of posts for items are not making the board but are taken.
I guess the takers are psychic.
There must be huge temptation for administrators seeing items before it reaches board.
Does this happen?
Am I the only person who has noticed strange things on Freecycle.

A question about : The Great 'Get Paid To Generate Energy' Hunt

On 1 April new feed-in tariffs were introduced. These tariffs are payments to normal households for generating their own renewable electricity.

The new tariffs are being massively subsidised by the Government, meaning it's now a more feasible way to cut your energy bill and make cash.

A question about : Freecycle (Merged Thread)

I am not sure if anyone ever wrote anything about this movement but a quick search did not bring anything so here we go. Freecycle is a simple idea:

you have stuff you don’t need in the house and need to get rid of it and on ebay it is hardly going to make you any money so you decide to take it to the tip or give it to charity.

This is where Freecycle is getting in.

A question about : mooncup (Merged Discussion Thread)

Has anyone tried these? They're an alternative to tampons and sanitary towels. I've been thinking about getting one but not sure how reliable they are.

You may be wondering why a discussion started 2 years ago is in the weekly e-mail. Well its perennially popular and as the Mooncup's been around almost 80 years and not changed so the info should still apply.
