Share and share alike.0:19
Waste and consumerism seem seem to rule our modern world.0:26
But here are some caring, sharing ways to keep landfills low, keep money in our pockets, and get back that lost community spirit too.0:34
One of the biggest costs these days, for both our wallets and the environment, is transport.0:47
Is the place you're going really too far to walk to, though?0:54
And what about cycling there?0:59
The first bike-sharing scheme was in 1965 in Amsterdam, but now there are about 200 in cities around the world.1:01
You borrow a bike from one sharing station and drop it off at another.1:11
If your destination is too far to walk or cycle to, think about carpooling.1:16
A car costs a lot to run, But now there are neighborhood carpools everywhere.1:22
When you're in a carpool, you share the cost of running your car with others.1:29
And even if you don't have ownership of a car, most carpools are still happy to let you join.1:34
When was the last time you used a lawnmower, a ladder, or a power drill?1:43
Why not share items like these through a neighborhood share scheme?1:49
These schemes allow members to see what people living nearby have to lend.1:53
What to do with your stuff.1:59
Do you have clothes you haven't worn for the last 6 months?2:01
