There's certain things in life, that it makes sense to 'consume' or 'own' outright... cellphones, tv, computers.
Then there's things that dumbfound me why we 'own' them... Power drills, tools, and a plethora of other things that take up space in our homes.
Imagine if every street in America had a warehouse w/ an employeed caretaker in charge of basically renting out power tools, ATVs, Jetski's, camping supplies, and they were networked w/ other warehouses to find items that are needed when they're out of stock locally.
Houses could be built smaller because you don't need to store so much wasteful shit.
i'd like to build this myself on a homestead-like intentional community/eco-village near Zion National Park someday when have the $$ for the land. (if anyone wants to donate - emails' in profile).
We definitely can tackle some consumerism, a lot we can't. People are greedy, not everyone is gonna sacrifice - making it easier TO sacrifice though can definitely help. Easier to share, recycle, etc...
Think of all the things in storage facilities across America that are things that people use infrequently that could be rented out, or loaned out, and actually utilized so somebody else doesn't need to buy it and require additional manufacturing of a product thus wasting resources...
