New movement on Bainbridge Island creates spirit of giving


A new social media movement on Bainbridge Island is turning heads by offering goods, services and the use of items for free.

“Buy Nothing Bainbridge” aims to create an economy based off the simple acts of giving and receiving.

“You know you can give your stuff away. It’s so much cooler to know someone actually wants it, to know who wants it, why they want it,” said co-founder Rebecca Rockefeller.

In just weeks, more than 1300 people have signed up on the project’s Facebook page.
