DUSHANBE, June 3, 2014, Asia-Plus – An eco fair, Free Market, is expected to take place in Children’s Park in Dushanbe on June 7.

Organized by local Environmental NGO Small Earth, the fair will be Tajikistan’s first big environmental event.

“Participants may bring unneeded items to the fair, which is dedicated to the World Environment Day (WED),” the fair organizers say.

The main objective of the fair is in raising population awareness to take positive environmental action to protect nature and the planet Earth and drawing people’s attention to rational use of resources.

The Really, Really Free Market (RRFM) movement is a horizontally organized collective of individuals who form a temporary market based on an alternative gift economy.  The RRFM movement aims to counteract capitalism in a proactive 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 and food, as well as skills and talents such as entertainment or haircuts.  A RRFM usually takes place in an open community space such as a public park or community commons.
