Buy Nothing. Give Freely. Share creatively. Follow the Buy Nothing Project on
Facebook, Instagram & Twitter to keep up with Buy Nothing news and stories.
We offer people a way to give and receive, share, lend, and express gratitude through a worldwide network of local gift economies in which the true wealth is the web of connections formed between people who are real-life neighbors.
Post anything you’d like to give away, lend, or share in this Buy Nothing community group. Ask for anything you’d like to receive for free or borrow.
Respect our local Buy Nothing group culture, the 10 Rules, and Community Agreement. Participate at your own risk. Keep it legal.
Our Buy Nothing group is for people who are members of the community described in our name.
If you are a member of our community, we’d love to have you join us and build community through sharing freely.
In this group there is no buying or selling, no trades or bartering, no soliciting for cash. We’re an adult-only gift economy. We are not a charity or community bulletin board.
By joining this group, you agree to abide by our Mission and Rules:
Short version: Buy Nothing 10 Rules
Long, detailed version: Buy Nothing Fine Print
See our pinned posts for any local rules we’ve set just for this group.

LINK TO THIS PAGE, do not copy it. Linking to this page will automatically keep your group up-to-date, supported by our most current text.
How do you link to this page? We have a shorter version of the 10 Rules that you can copy and paste into your group. The shorter version will link your group to this longer one. The shorter version uses up only 1 of the 10 Rules slots given to your group on Facebook, so you'll have 9 spots for your own unique Local Variation group rules. To access the shorter 10 Rules that will link your group to this page, choose the option that matches your group:
- If you're updating an existing Buy Nothing group, visit Update Your Group .
- If you'd like to set up a new or sprout group, visit Start a Private Group.
- If you'd like to add any of your own rules in your own words, utilizing any of the Rule slots 2 through 10, your group will become a Local Variation group. There are some simple steps you need to follow to make this happen, and we'll guide you through all of them on this page.
We strive to provide helpful and timely group set-ups and updates. Our volunteer team is always ready to help you out with anything that's confusing, or in any way that makes any of this more accessible to you. Visit our Help Center for all sorts of assistance, including a way to contact us.
