Last week, we advised against making rash purchases and before purchasing anything, consider your action for 30 days. This method helps in conserving natural resources and reducing the impact on the environment. But if you really need something, why not use the one that was already bought by someone, and now that someone does not need it? In the modern world, there are a lot of resources and places where you can find previously used things of good enough quality and at an adequate price. This is a very environmentally friendly way, as it involves not only reducing the resource costs for the production, delivery and sale of a new product, but also for its disposal. Buying used things, gadgets and other household items does not mean poor quality at all. Often people share things in excellent condition for various reasons. Thus, this is a mutually beneficial transaction, because everyone gets what he needs: someone gets rid of the irrelevant, and the other acquires the necessary.
You can find used items in second-hand stores (clothes), through bulletin boards (not only clothes, but also any equipment, interior items, etc.), at special sales or fairs such as "freemarket" or "cross-market" '( exchange of things ). In addition, many stores have a special category of goods - refurbished (refurbished, updated). These include items that have not yet been used by anyone and have been serviced at the manufacturer's service center for any reason (breakage, replacement of a part, update of a component, etc.) for aesthetic and / or mechanical restoration.
We offer you several online resources for finding and sharing things:
- Certified refurbished on Amazon - "refurbished" goods in the Amazon international retail network;
- All-Russian Internet portal of private announcements Avito ;
- all-Ukrainian Internet portal of private ads OLX ;

- all-Ukrainian portal for the exchange of things Plyushkin ;
- a network of flea markets in Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as an online store Dump ;
- store used things Laska in Kiev.
You can find more resources for the query you need on the search networks. Try it once and see the convenience, economy and environmental friendliness of this method. Instead of filling already huge garbage , let's share useful things with each other and keep our planet green together! 🙂
