Inside the world of Buy Nothing

David Stahl did not need leftover(剩下的) pickle juice(腌黄瓜汁). But a few months ago, he decided     1    (ask) for some just to see if it was possible, posting a request to a New York chapter of Buy Nothing, a local Facebook group.

It turns out, people are willing to give away just about anything, if you ask. A week     2    (late), Stahl walked 10 blocks to a stranger’s apartment lobby and retrieved(取回) a 1-gallon Mt. Olive jar of the pale green liquid.

Welcome to the wild world of Buy Nothing, a network of social media groups, mostly on Facebook,     3     people give and receive things, treating the stuff     4    (take) up space in their homes as gifts meant to be shared and treasured.     5    (create) in 2013 by two women in Bainbridge Island, Washington, it has grown to 6,700 independent Buy Nothing Facebook groups in 44 countries.

Giving away the stuff that you no longer want     6    (be) nothing new. But Buy Nothing turns the act of decluttering(清除杂物) into a way to meet and befriend your neighbors. Because each group is     7    (geographical) limited, sometimes encompassing(包含) only a few city blocks,     8     active group can become a tightknit(紧密联系的) trading post.

“We have plenty right here within each of our local communities to sustain(支援) us,” said Liesl B. Clark, one of the     9    (found) of the Buy Nothing Project. “If we can reuse and refurbish and fix and repair and just keep recycling these items, nothing needs to     10    (discard)(丢弃).”

3 . Large amounts of waste, or garbage, are filling streets in Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu, after protesters blocked a road leading to a landfill outside the city. People in Bancharedanda where the garbage is kept blame the government for not doing enough to protect them from the waste.

One British tourist, Richard McSorley, recently talked about the problem. He remembered how clean Kathmandu was when he first visited it many years ago. “If I were a new tourist, I would be despondent now,” McSorley said, while pointing to a load of garbage next to a city street. For weeks, treatment of waste has been a continuous problem in the city surrounded by hills. The problems started after people in the village of Bancharedanda refused to have the garbage thrown at a nearby landfill.

Biswas Dhungana was one of the protesters. He said the villagers were refusing to permit trucks loaded with garbage to enter. They say government officials have done little to provide basic equipment and effective ways to deal with the garbage. He added, “We have been forced to live like pigs in terrible conditions for several years as the government has not done anything to keep the village clean.”

Last week, hundreds of villagers built a wall of rocks on the road leading to Bancharedanda. It forced about 200 trucks filled with Kathmandu’s garbage to return without dumping their load. It was said that protesters also threw stones from surrounding hills.

Sunil Lamsal is an official to watch over how Kathmandu’s garbage is treated. He said, “I am working to deal with the concerns of the locals in Bancharedanda. But now, garbage continues to grow on the streets of Kathmandu. This has led to increased danger for people living in the capital. In the light of it, the government will soon take further positive measures to tackle the problem, as the environment affects every family.”
