This afternoon, the WMU Office of Sustainability will be layin’ it down in a big way, and hosting a Really Really Free Market. What does that mean? Well, straight from the proverbial horse’s mouth:

“The Really, Really Free Market (RRFM) movement is a non-hierarchical collective of individuals who form a temporary market based on an alternative gift economy. The RRFM movement aims to counteract capitalism in a non-reactionary way. It holds as a major goal to build a community based on sharing resources, caring for one another and improving the collective lives of all. Markets often vary in character, but they generally offer both goods and services. Participants bring unneeded items, food, skills and talents such as entertainment or haircuts.”

This is the last one of the season / semester, and the Sustainability Office would like to make it as successful as humanly possible. Plus, this will help promote the opening of a permanent ‘free store’ on WMU’s campus. Free store? sounds good to me!

The event starts at 1:30 at the KIVA Room in the Faunce Building basement, near WIDR, and runs until 6pm. Come on down, show ’em what you got, and Do It Together, y’all!
