At the Today Show website: Ga-ga-goo-green? 10 tips to raise an eco-kid: "Everything from clothes, toys and books to furniture, bath gear and even the giant hunks of plastic that form Exersaucers and swing sets can have a second life. Resist the urge to buy something new or to dump something you own by using sources like Craigslist.org, Freecycle.com and Freepeats.org to find gently used items and to pass on your goods to those in need."At Portland's KOIN Local 6: Clothing Swap: "Clothes swapping might sound like a new idea, but parents have been doing it for years—better known as hand me downs—now there's a website that will broaden your clothes swapping connections. Freepeats.org gives you access to baby, kid and maternity finds in the Portland area and 48 other cities. It's an easy way to recycle items that still have a lot of life left in them. You can trade with other families to get the clothes that fit your needs and hand off your outfits that don't work for you anymore. Get access to everything in your area for a one time $4.95 membership fee."
