The 淫性视频 Trading Post is a sustainability initiative that opened for the first time this spring semester. Three students took on the project with support from the Sustainability Coordinator and 2020 funding. Their hard work has resulted in a new community space that fosters a sharing economy through trades, swaps, repairing and reuse.

The goal of the 淫性视频 Trading Post (STP) is to encourage sustainable habits on the Gallloway campus, but another benefit of the sharing economy is simply saving money. University community members have the option to trade gently worn clothes for something 鈥渘ew,鈥 or swap unused household items for thrift goods they actually need. 

During move-out, students have the option to donate whatever they can鈥檛 bring home. When they return in the fall, they can source needed dorm items through the STP instead of buying new things. Developing a reuse economy helps the environment by diverting waste from landfills, but it also curbs extraction from reserves of resources which our consumer economy is rapidly depleting.

In addition to a thrift and thread exchange, the STP serves as a sharing hub for tools, equipment and skills. 淫性视频 community members looking to make a home repair have the option to borrow tools for a one-off job. Anyone looking to explore a new hobby can check out available equipment, including camping and backpacking supplies, to see if they enjoy it first. Skill-sharing workshops are also available to the community through the 淫性视频 Trading Post. A schedule of interesting workshops teaching sustainable living skills is in the works for the fall. Check out the  to stay updated on workshops and see a list of tools and equipment available.
