<span class="image float-right">![[buy-nothing-project-logo.png|200]]</span> The **[[Buy Nothing Project]]** is a community-based initiative that aims to reduce material consumption and promote sustainable living. ^about It encourages individuals to preference the giving and seeking of second-hand items (or local exchange of services) over the discarding of old or purchasing of new, respectively. It facilitates this goal by providing a brokerage service that connects 'givers' and 'askers', initially via Facebook groups, and now via its own app. *For more information, refer to their [official site](https://buynothingproject.org/).
