Buy Nothing
Inside the world of Buy Nothing揭秘“什么都不买”的世界
David Stahl did not need leftover pickle juice. But a few months ago, he decided to ask for some just to see if it was possible, posting a request to a New York chapter of Buy Nothing, a hyperlocal Facebook group.
大卫·斯塔尔不需要别人剩的腌黄瓜汁。但几个月前,他决定向别人寻求一些,看看这样做是否可行,并在超本地化的 Facebook 群组“什么都不买”的纽约分组发布了一个请求。
It turns out, people are willing to give away just about anything, if you ask. A week later, Stahl walked 10 blocks to a stranger's apartment lobby and retrieved a 1-gallon Mt. Olive jar of the pale green liquid.
事实证明,只要你开口要求,人们就愿意送出几乎任何东西。一周后,斯塔尔走了 10 个街区,来到一个陌生人的公寓大堂,取回了一罐 1 加仑的 Mt. Olive 牌淡绿色液体。
Welcome to the wild world of Buy Nothing, a network of social media groups, mostly on Facebook, where people give and receive things, treating the stuff taking up space in their homes as gifts meant to be shared and treasured. Created in 2013 by two women in Bainbridge Island, Washington, it has grown to 6,700 independent Buy Nothing Facebook groups in 44 countries.
欢迎来到“什么都不买”的疯狂世界。这是一个社交媒体群组网络,主要集中在 Facebook 上。人们在这里给予和接受东西,把占据家中空间的东西当作礼物,用来分享和珍藏。2013 年,来自华盛顿班布里奇岛的两名女性创建了该组织,现已在 44 个国家发展出 6700 个独立的“什么都不买”Facebook 群组。
Giving away the stuff that you no longer want is nothing new. But Buy Nothing turns the act of decluttering into a way to meet and befriend your neighbors. Because each group is geographically limited, sometimes encompassing only a few city blocks, an active group can become a tightknit trading post.
把你不再想要的东西送人并不是什么新鲜事。但是“什么都不买”会把清理杂物的行为变成一种与邻居见面和交友的方式。由于每个群组都局限在一定的地理范围内,有时仅包括几个城市街区,因此活跃的群组可以成为联系紧密的交易站。
"We have plenty right here within each of our local communities to sustain us," said Liesl B. Clark, one of the founders of the Buy Nothing Project. "If we can reuse and refurbish and fix and repair and just keep recycling these items, nothing needs to be discarded."
“我们每个当地社区都有足够的资源来支持我们。”“什么都不买”项目的创始人之一丽莎·B·克拉克说,“如果我们能够重复使用、翻新、修理和修复这些物品,并继续回收利用,那么就不需要丢弃任何东西。”
