Sharing ideas and information

Reuse

In our neighborhood, we have set up a system for sharing leftover home repair items and seldom-used tools. We'll report back to you about how this works for us sometime in the spring.

We'd like to encourage you to set up some kind of simlar sharing system with your friends and neighbors. It all starts by offering to share what you've got and asking friends and neighbors if they are interested in being part of your sharing community. Check this space later for more informatin.
