Media Martens help circulate used media locally...

Some of the UK's rarest bumblebees are at risk of becoming extinct as a result of inbreeding, research suggests.
Growing up in Greece, everyone knew someone who'd left to find a better life in America. That was the phrase everyone associated with America: "a better life." When I came to live here in 1980, I knew there was no other place I'd rather live. Thirty years later, I still feel that way. But something went wrong -- terribly wrong -- and put our country on a very dangerous path that threatens to transform us into Third World America. It's a jarring phrase, I know, but I decided to make that the title of my new book, which is being released today, as a warning -- to make it clear that if we don't change course that could very well be our future. But the book is not just a critique of the many ways things are broken -- it's a practical guide for how to fix them.
Introducing the Media Marten |
Whether you live in a small town or a neighborhood in a large city, you are part of a community. Supporting your favorite local restaurants and stores is a part of your daily routine. The economy has made that kind of patronage more difficult lately. Local merchants that have a Media Marten in their stores or even nearby can share the benefits. More people can sell their used items locally and will have more available funds to spend. Even items that don’t have much monetary value can benefit the community. Donations can be made through a Marten that benefit area schools, charitable programs and freecycle. The Media Marten benefits any local economy, its people, and the environment.
