Instead of returning unsold magazines and books, the bookstore would rip-off the front covers, and toss the perfectly good merchandise in the dumpster.

We would spend gleeful hours, sifting through the romance novels, to find Mad Magazine and D.C. Comics.

I’m much older now, dumpsters are more toxic, I’ll stick with Free Trees.

Your street corner. In the city, people put their stuff out on the corner instead of paying for hauling, and hope someone takes it away.

Today, I was walking along my new neighborhood, and spotted a chair and table on the sidewalk. Their was a woman painting the entrance to her building, in front of the chair and table, and I asked her if the furniture was free. “Yes, that’s the Free Tree. People who live on the block place their stuff besides that tree.” She responded.

See if you’ve got a Free Tree in your neighborhood – or plant one of your own.
