news > 28/01/2009 - GWO is ‘a relationship made in recycling heaven’ says Mercury
"Giving World Online is a 21st century twist on the cards you see cluttering up newsagents’ windows – except on a much, much bigger scale."
In it’s Big Green Switch article published on 28th January, Leicester Mercury reporter Adam Wakelin describes Giving World Online as, ‘a sort of .dot.com dating agency; a marriage bureau that matches the needy to the givey to create relationships made in recycling heaven.”
He goes on to say, “We live in a world of waste. Which is bad. We also live in a world of want. Which is even worse. So why not use those mountains of surplus to plug the poverty gap – saving millions of tonnes of good stuff being dumped into landfill in the bargain? Why not hook up the supply with the demand?”
“It’s a green solution so blindingly obvious it should come free with a pair of dark glasses, yet no-one was doing it – until now.”
“Leicester charity Konnect9 has taken that basic no-brainer and run with it to create an ingenious win-win website that does exactly that.”
