In this episode, Winter Skyberg shares about the Buy Nothing groups in Newberg. The Buy Nothing project is a way for people to give and receive, share, lend, and express gratitude through the "gift economy", where true wealth is the web of connections formed between people who are real-life neighbors. At first, Buy Nothing may look like another buy, sell, trade group, but it goes much deeper than that. In this episode we’ll learn how these groups help us grow together as neighbors, and how they teach us that there’s no shame in asking.
