Now that we all dont buy american products anymore and dont use their programs and services, i want to do something more, but i dont have any ideas. Please write some! :)

I thought i would put my old things which stood around for months, on websites similar to Ebay. I also thought about recycling them, but to that would be a waste since they still have a worth.

    Go to your employer and suggest (or demand) that you switch out American services and products for European ones.

      I work in telecommunications in Europe and this already started last year.

      Only as a company, though. We can’t control when government officials let NSA have direct access to our cables, though…

    Maybe petition local government to transition their IT into EU based service?

    I know it will probably fall on deaf ears, but I’m thinking about contacting my local politicians about transitioning government IT into Linux OS and EU Cloud service. I don’t expect them to take me seriously, but at least I can take four hours of my life every half year.

    Another idea: consolidate !buyfromeu@feddit.org with this community. They both have the same rules anyway (EU + friendly neighboring countries)

    People coming from Reddit and finding the other one as it has the same name as the sub aren’t finding this one which is much more active.

    If you want to sell stuff put it on local markets like Vinted, Subito(Italy), Marketplats(Netherlands) etc
