- Cultivate a more sustainable planet by decreasing unnecessary waste
- Build healthier communities and neighborhoods in the process!
Picture
Overview
There are three primary problems (with plenty of available supporting statistics) that we hope to address
1. Our planet is being exploited at an unsustainable pace
2. Excessive consumerism has hijacked how we live & what we value
3. Community is disentegrating at an alarming rate
We hope to launch a website for people to list, share, & track physical durable goods. Our site will integrate with current social networks (facebook/twitter) so people can quickly register & find friends they trust. There will be full privacy controls will be enforced. Rankings will be enabled to add a fun & competitive dynamic to sharing. With the addition of a mobile application sharing & borrowing will be even more easy and accessible.
What if you could help a neighbor by sharing that power tool you bought for that one time? What if there was a Nintendo Wii collecting dust somewhere you could use for a party night? What if we could all own less and live more?
