Buy Nothing
In reading Robert Reich's new book, 'Coming Up Short: A Memoir of My America' I came across something which is kind of like the 'Libraries of Everything' which Lee Camp wrote about, and which I featured in my last Open Thread. Why I didn't know about this project, considering that it was started literally miles away from my home, is beyond me.

Anyway this project is called 'Buy Nothing'. The project supports and enables people in sharing, recycling, all kinds of things. The project started on Bainbridge Island in WA state, and is now in something like 44 countries with 246,000 Buy Nothing communities. These communities help facilitate over 2.6M gifts per month.
