Baby Swap Shop opens on Shoreham High Street
Today marks the opening of the first UK Baby Swap Shop, in Shoreham high street. No - you don't swap babies, but you do swap baby clothes and baby toys.
Created as part of the empty shops scheme, unused space on the high street has been made available for a fun and functional community project.
The idea is simple - simply bring along clothes and toys your baby has…

Read It Swap It
Here's a simple idea that I love:
http://www.readitswapit.co.uk/TheLibrary.aspx
The idea is that when you've finished with a book, you list it on your readitswapit page, and then other users of the site can request to swap a book with you - you pick what you like form their lsit - you post them off and there you go.
I've signed up and started listing my books (but nobody wants to swap with me… Continue

He has furnished his entire house with… Continue

'Women' on KIVA
When a colleague left about 4 years ago we set up a Kiva account rather than buying a leaving gift - since then we have invested and reinvested the money 16 times.
For this mission, I've added some extra funds to the account in order to support a group of 9 women who want to work together to improve the lives of themselves and their families.
The beauty of using a Kiva loan like this is once the women pay back what we have loaned… Continue

The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
