Who’s Behind InJersey?
The site is administered by the writers and editor from Gannett New Jersey's news teams — including APP.com, CourierPostOnline.com, MyCentralJersey.com, DailyRecord.com, and TheDailyJournal.com. What this means is that content from InJersey will often find its way into your local newspaper. But, perhaps even more important, our team trained reporters can help open doors throughout the community for citizen journalists who may need a little help getting to the bottom of a story.
We look forward to meeting you, hearing your stories, and being your trusted source for community-specific information.

Hello,
I feel strongly that the community needs more information on how to live green.
I belong as a moderator owner to the Freeycle nework.
I own my own community Freecycle (TM) Group.
What the group is all about and how it can help
our community and sorrounding counties:
The Freecycle Network is made up of 4,801 groups with 7,214,000 members across the globe. It’s a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. It’s all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills.
Freecycle has announced it is now available to use on mobile devices following an agreement with Nokia, the world’s largest mobile device company. The move expands the global gifting network beyond the constraints of the computer to people’s mobile phones in over 85 countries around the world.
You can access Freecycle’s mobile website simply by typing mobile.freecycle.org into your mobile phone’s browser.
With the double whammy of increased environmental awareness and a heightened consumer appreciation of reuse and recycling, Freecycle has ignited a grassroots wildfire which has led to unprecedented growth of the Freecycle.org website and it’s global gifting community. The Freecycle Network is enabling over 700 tons a day to be gifted currently on Freecycle.org. That’s seven times the height of Mt. Everest in the past year alone when stacked in garbage trucks.
The Network is currently growing at the rate of over 45,000 new members each and every week. This nonprofit gifting movement enables individuals to gift items in their local communities rather than to throw them away. In 2007 Yahoo first noted that Freecycle became the third most searched environmental term on the planet just behind “global warming” and “recycling” and ahead of “earth.” Lending credence to their motto of “changing the world one gift at time,” Freecycle members are gifting over 20,000 items every day.
Lucky for us we have a Freecyle (TM) group in our community..
The vineland_nj_Freecycle™ group
The vineland group is dedicated to the cumberland County community and sorrounding counties.
Please help spread the word that the Vineland NJ freecycle Group organization contributing to a healthy community by keeping our landfills with less garbage as possible.. We care about the
environment. Those that join the Vineland NJ Freecycle group care about our local community involvement with keeping our landfills free of garbage.
