With SwapItGreen Beta, you are just a click away from recycling your old stuff and having a blast!

Recycling is not the only thing that we can do to celebrate the upcoming Earth Day.  We have taken it a step further by providing everyone with the capability to swap their unused and old items with other people.  So this Earth Day lets all get the planet a gift-swapping.  Don't throw these things away when someone else could use them.  If we can save these things and cut back on waste, mother nature will smile at us and grant us the wonderful gift of more beautiful days, less pollution in the air, and a healthier and happier planet.  If you believe in karma, swapping will enhance and improve just that.  Give something to away to get something new, in addition to a better Earth and in the long run, a better life.  Celebrate Earth Day by doing something positive for the planet.  Let's all chip in and do our part for Earth!

It's ok that you have gotten some of your favorite things from a yard sale, a thrift store, or flea markets!  In fact, it is a good thing because rather than letting those items end up in a landfill somewhere, they are being used and loved by you.  Just think of all of the things lying around the house that you could just throw away...or better yet-you could swap with someone else!  It is time to get in the right mind-set, and it is time you were rewarded for this behavior!  Not only can you build up points, but you can get rid of something, and get something back!  Swap It!

When all your clothes, jewelry, books, movies and CDs were the cat's meow??  It might be time to reconsider!  Clean out your closet and open a new world of shopping!  Reused and recycled items are steadily growing in popularity, as well as affordibility.  Just by swapping items you can do your part for the enviornment.  By joining our eco-friendly team you can get rid of the things you don't need, and gain the ones that you do.  You have the ability to swap items right at your fingertips.

Why throw something away when you could find another use for it.  By rummaging through your old wares, you can still get rid of it-but in a much more resourceful way!  Your trash may become someone else's prized possession.  In addition, you are reducing waste as well as helping save the environment.  Just think-the more things you are able to give to someone else, the more you can get in return.  All kinds of items that one can only imagine!  For once, you can look at cleaning as a good thing, in more ways than one.  A clutter-free house means more new items for you, as well as an elimination of waste.
