"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Shareable has collected a primer on "collaborative consumption," i.e. the fine art of consensual mooching. It turns out there's basically no reason to be the sole owner of anything ever again.
Among the things Shareable shows you how to go splitsies on:
• Housing: The cohousing directory helps you find communities with cooperative home ownership.
• Food and gardening: http://www.mamabake.com/
• Work: http://wiki.coworking.info/w/page/29303049/Directory
• Travel: Why stay at a hotel when you can house-swap or couch-surf? Our favorite: CouchSurfing , which hooks travelers up with a place to crash.
• Transportation: Share Taxis
• Media: http://bookmooch.com/
• Clothing: Rent clothes for special events, or throw a swap meet. Our favorite: SwapStyle
• School supplies: Rent Textbooks
