About a month ago I wrote a post about fashion swapping. This weekend I came across yet another swap site - Commuto.com. Only that this site is not fashion exclusive. The good thing about Commuto is that you trade within a community. You can either join a community geographically or create your own and invite your friends. Selling on Ebay or Craig’s list can be daunting unless you are selling items that are in high demand. In this case, you won’t have to reduce your prices by trading items of equal value.

How to use Commuto?
1. Sign up and create a profile.
2. Create your own private community or join an existing community.
3. Fill your “My Items” list with items you would like to trade.
4. Add to your “Wish List” items you want by either searching for the items by name or searching other members in your community and adding their items.
5. Wait for Commuto to automatically find matches for your trades or other members to propose trades to you.

To celebrate our lovely planet and her resources, we can strive to cut down our consumption. Here are a couple of ways to refresh your wardrobe without spending a fortune, while saving the environment. Join the fashion swapping community:
