The Staga Network - Reduce, Reuse, Regive & Save the Environment!

The Staga Network is a collection of online communities that are designed to help you, help your neighbors, and help the Earth all at the same time. Each community is comprised of people who live close to one another, often in the same city or neighborhood, and are willing to reuse and regive their belongings.

Using The Staga Network, you can easily give those items away to residents of your neighborhood who may need them more than you. We encourage you to stay close by, so that nobody pays any fees to ship or mail things. There are no fees for using our web site so everything is free.

Instead of throwing your unused belongings in the trash, and creating unnecessary landfill, you can give those things new life by passing them along to someone who can still use them.

Giving away your unused belongings is a great way to clean out the clutter from your home, but it is an even better way to help your community!

By giving things away to people from your own community, you create strong bonds with one another.

You can browse through listings in your neighborhood and find things that may be useful to you or someone you know. For some people this might be clothes for their newborn baby, toys, books, electronics, or anything else you can think of.

Best of all - everything is free. There is no shipping costs to pay. You simply arrange a time and place to pick up your new posession. You can meet at a local coffee shop, the mall, a park, or at your own front door - its up to you.

According to the EPA, in 2006, Americans generated about 251 million tons of trash and recycled 82 million tons of materials, which is 32.5 percent. We recycled 1.5 pounds of our individual waste generation rate of 4.6 pounds per person per day.

If everyone helps just a little bit, we can collectively reduce the amount of trash in our landfills significantly. The Staga Network helps make it easy for everyone to give their unused, but still useful, belongings to someone else who can still put them to good use.

Reducing your carbon footprint and becoming carbon-neutral means that you have neutralized your personal effect on the environment.

You can be carbon neutral in many ways, but our goal is to help you reduce your carbon footprint by reducing the amount of trash you send to our landfills.

A large portion of our trash is incinerated which both wastes valuable energy and emits harmful emissions into our atmosphere which can hurt the Ozone.

Trash which is not recycled or incinerated just sits in landfills. Materials that can decompose will do so over time and eventually working their way into our soil and water.

By giving your unused belongings away to someone else who can use them, you are essentially eliminating these environmentally unfriendly side effects.
