"I love how easy it is to find a second life for my daughter's outgrown toys while meeting other local parents. It feels so much better than adding to a landfill, and the gratitude expressed within the community is truly heartwarming!"

"Instead of buying a power tool for a one-day project, I was able to borrow one from a neighbor just two streets over. BuyNothing has completely changed how I think about 'stuff' and has made my neighborhood feel like a real community again."
