girlscout: Last summer, Andreas Richter, a 28-year-old computer programmer who lives in Berlin, wanted to get rid of some stuff: clothes, DVDs, a set of drinking glasses. He didn’t want to throw out the items — still perfectly useful — but he also didn’t want to have to schedule pickups or use DHL for a couple of T-shirts. So instead, he got out his power tools and built a telephone-booth-sized structure that he called “Givebox” on his street in Mitte (Steinstrasse 37b). Since then, the project has taken on a more interactive aspect and has expanded to other locations and even other cities. Let’s do it!
