IKEA Furniture Swap – February 9 in Amsterdam
With the world economy on shaky grounds, one the best and most environmentally friendly ways to be a consumer is to swap items or buy used objects. It’s less wasteful to do this and it can be a really fun activity.
Even without the economy going downhill, doing this type of consuming seems to be the trend and you should be proud of yourself to be partaking in these earth-friendly green actions.
People tend to swap books, music and movies but you shouldn’t stop there. How about swapping some furniture?
IKEA is organizing a furniture swap at its Amsterdam store: a husselmarkt. No more than 250 people will be able to bring in furniture (not necessary from IKEA) and then swap it for furniture brought in by other people. IKEA will throw in 12,000 euros (about $17,700) worth of furniture for this Amsterdam Furniture Swap Meet. So, if you’re nearby, check it out. Should be kind of fun. Otherwise, no word yet as to whether IKEA will be doing these swaps at other world-wide locations. Stay tuned. This one is probably is a testing ground for possible future activities.
