Trade Your Stuff and Plant a Tree for Earth Day with Swaptree

This Earth Day, swap your old books, CDs, movies and video games for new stuff – and have a tree planted for every transaction you make – on Swaptree.com. Swaptree, a free online trading service, has teamed up with the Nature Conservancy’s ‘Plant a Billion Trees’ initiative with a goal of 10,000 trades completed and 10,000 trees planted on Earth Day 2009.

And, hey – swapping stuff instead of buying new is the ultra green way to shop, and it gives you control over what you get in return, too. Here’s how it works:

Members simply list the items that they are trading and the items they want, and Swaptree’s two and three-way trade algorithms instantly find all of the items that they can receive for the items that they have.  Swaptree is completely free, and users only pay for postage, which means that they can get a book, CD, DVD, or video game for around two dollars.  Swaptree even simplifies the mailing process, by providing users the ability to print a perfect postage label right from their printer, so they don’t have to weigh items, buy stamps, or even go to the post office.

So head on over to Swaptree.com to check out the selection, take inventory of the stuff you’d like to swap and make your trade on Earth Day to get a tree planted in your honor.
