Back by popular demand, Swapsity is returning to the
Live
Green Toronto
Festival on July 21 for our biggest swap yet!
The Swapsity Swap
Zone will be one of the highlights at
Toronto’s largest
outdoor green festival. Come on out to swap, listen to
live music,
taste local foods, check out eco-minded vendors and
celebrate our
amazing, green city!
The event will kick off with over 750 media items left
over from
past swaps, so you can start swapping as soon as the
Swap Zone
opens at 11:00am. By the end of the day, we hope to
swap over 5,000
items. Those of you who joined us last year
will remember
six tents of intense treasure hunting. It was certainly
a day to
remember! We saved Torontonians over $18,000 and
rescued 3,300
items from landfills in just nine hours.
Whether it’s books you no longer read, DVDs
collecting dust
or CDs you don’t dig, gather them all up and
bring them to
Yonge-Dundas Square on July 21. What may no longer
interest you
could be a treasure to someone else. We’ve seen
swappers show
up with hundreds of items!
Remember to bring your Live
Green Toronto membership card and enjoy an extra
swap item. If
you don't have a card, you can pick one up at the
festival;
it’s free and gets you tons of green living deals
around the
city. Once you drop off your swappables, you'll get a
swap token to
use as your entry pass to the Swap Zone for the entire
day. You can
take home as many items as you brought and new things
will be added
to the Swap Zone all day as swappers drop them off, so
feel free to
swing by as often as you like between 11am and 8pm.
We’ll
even have experts on site to help you find some items
for your
media library. Swap Zone highlights will include:
• A family-friendly section for
kids
• Book, movie, and music experts
on site to
help you select items
• Photo ops with our adorable
mascot,
Swaptopus
• One extra swap for all Live
Green Card
holders
