So how are you doing with your New Year's resolutions so far? Why not make a fun and practical change this year and add a new currency to your wallet: barter.
Did you know that if every Canadian bartered for 5% of their budget we would collectively save $52.5 billion dollars? Not to mention how it would expand our social circles and reduce waste in our landfills.
So here's our 2014
challenge to
you: try swapping for at least ONE
item, skill or
service per month and see how it keeps your wallet
full.
Watch our
TEDx
talk if you want to learn more about the world of
barter. And
print out a copy of our barter card for your wallet to
track your
monthly swaps.
What will you swap for in January?
