seem to be multiplying like rabbits, but perhaps the Great Recession is forcing all of us to pay more attention to its im- portance these days. There’s car sharing, ride sharing, bike sharing, yard sharing, co-working, co-housing, tool libraries and all kinds of cooperatives. Ways to share power, dialogue and knowledge, such as workplace democracy, citizens’ deliberative councils, unconferences, open spaces and world cafés are getting more attention, aided by innovative Web 2.0 tools and other means.
Scores of new websites are designed to help us share real stuff, and it’s pos- sible to create a complete lifestyle based on sharing. We can live in a co-housing community, work in a co-op, grow food in a neighbor’s yard and travel to the open space town council meeting via a local car-share. Want to know about the nuts and bolts of how to build a share- able life? Read The Sharing Solution, by Janelle Orsi and Emily Doskow.
SHARING OUR WORLD
Simply Sharing Can Solve Big Challenges by Neal Gorenflo and Jeremy Adam Smith
Sharing is the answer to some of today’s biggest questions: How will we meet the needs of the world’s enormous population? How do we reduce our impact on the planet and cope with the destruction already inflicted? How can we each be healthy, enjoy life, and create thriving communities?

Shareable Cities
A revolution is underway in our un- derstanding of cities; they are becoming the focal point for our collective hopes and dreams, as well as for all kinds of innovation needed to avert a worsening climate crisis. In the past, we tended to see cities as dirty, unnatural, isolating places; today, citizens and urban plan- ners alike are starting to see their poten- tial for generating widespread well-being at low financial and environmental cost. There’s an increasing appreciation for the benefits of public transit, urban agri- culture, making room on the streets for pedestrians and bicyclists and for civic engagement. The very thing that defines a city—its population density—makes sharing things easier, from cars to bikes to homes.
