二手交易網讓你幫助自己也拯救地球Clean out your closets and help the planet with secondhand websites
你家很可能有一個自己一點不想想到的壁櫥或是子；裡面可能塞滿了衣物、書籍或是其他不需要的物品。
遺憾的是，這些東西最後往往都會淪落到垃圾掩埋場裡不過，有一個更好的方式能助你擺脫它們：上網賣掉！
很多網站都是為了協助二手物品買方的接洽溝通而設立；PTT電子布告欄就是其中最為知名的網站之一。
你也可以利用臉書市集功能；在網路上出售任何物品，從碗盤、遊戲，到汽車、家電。
如果你打算買東西，不妨考慮買二手品。
二手物品的品質通常和新的一樣好。
在二手網站上，你還能夠找到絕版品，也能發現許多獨一無二的物件。
最棒的是，你為減少廢棄物出了一點力，因為這些物品因而獲得重複使用，而非遭到丟棄。
無論購入或售出二手物品，你都能因為對地球有所幫助而感覺到愉悅開心。
You probably have a closet or a cabinet in your home that you don't like to think about. It's most likely filled with clothes, books or other items that you don't need. Sadly, these things often end up in a landfill. But there's a better way to get them off your hands: Sell them online!
Many websites exist to help connect buyers with sellers of secondhand products. The PTT Bulletin Board System (BBS) is one of the most well-known.
You can also use Facebook Marketplace. You can sell just about anything from dishes and games to cars and appliances online.
If you're looking to buy something, consider buying used. Used items are often just as good as new ones. On secondhand websites you can also find things that are no longer made. You can find many unique items as well. And best of all, you help reduce waste because things are reused not thrown away.

To clean out vs. clean up
You know, that phrase "clean out," that means one thing. And it's another thing if you say "clean up" because we use the phrase "clean out" to talk about maybe reorganizing what's inside of a place like a cabinet or a drawer or something like that and maybe, you know, actually cleaning it and throwing some things away.
When you clean up a place like you clean up a room, that means you are picking up things and putting them where they belong, you're organizing the room.
