One of the many benefits of Zwaggle is the positive impact parents can have on the environment by sharing their kid’s stuff with other parents. We believe very strongly in this message and it’s great to see others working towards this end, such as Kimberly Danek Pinkson over at the EcoMom Alliance. Along with many tips on how parents can lead more eco-friendly lives, she has several great suggestions on her blog for making your back-to-school preparations more environmentally friendly.

One of Kimberly’s suggestions is to organize a school product swap, which we think is a great idea. And now with the new Zwaggle Groups feature its easier than ever to get your organization’s swap meet started on Zwaggle. You can trade with other parents in your school, club, etc. or with a family on the other side of the country. Either way you’re not just saving money, but helping the environment in the process.

It takes almost no time to set up your group. To learn more and get started, click here.
