![sharing stuff]( "sharing stuff")
Here’s yet another list of sharing ideas! We collected these ideas on post-it notes from visitors to our booth at the San Francisco Green Festival. We asked people to tell us their ideas for sharing and ways to create more sharing communities. We aren’t totally clear on what all the ideas mean, but we figure that no ideas should be left behind. Here’s they are:
Book swaps
Goat sharing for lawn mowing and clearing of brush
Sewing collective
Share a vegetable box
Art days
Share farm equipment, wood chippers, and snow blowers
Sing more
Work lunch co-op
Have “Soup Night” – a weekly event: invite friends, share poetry and music, and eat soup!
Wellness attention
Massage cooking
Neighborhood home improvement groups
Share ideas and eco-ideas
Energy raising (neighbors doing energy-saving retrofits for each other)
