naturalwestmichigan.com/conscious-consumerism"The Rise of Sharing and Reselling Tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, Asheville is a DIY kind of community, attracting artists, musicians, yoginis, homesteaders and other folks looking to live a simpler life. When they garden and undertake home repairs, Ashevillans find it easy to cut expenses: They’ve formed a collective tool shed, the Asheville Tool Library, which offers them the use of 2,000 donated tools ranging from safety goggles to leaf mulchers and circular saws...." My notes: It's really sad to have to have articles to remind us to do something we should already be doing. Helping each other. I wish bartering, exchanging of goods & service would make a bigger comeback.

True...we should be able to do that anyway...help people, wherever we live. Oh, I'd love to see 'bartering' come back. Sharing, exchanging what you have with others..and vice versa

These days, no salary is enough. You got a lot to spend on. And most of them can be postponed or avoided.
When we grew up, we had no plastic toys, only the ones we made out of things we found around us.
