Our economy is slow and our landfills are overflowing. Consumers are looking for a way to spend and waste less. Enter collaborative consumption, online communities that allow members to share their resources and make a profit, too. Yerdle is allowing dust-laden camping tents and power tools to be used by neighbors and strangers. How much will this cut down on waste? What else can be shared instead of bought?

Innovative companies such as Zipcar are moving in on an expanding market of consumers looking to escape the burdens of car ownership. The cost of parking, insurance, maintenance, and gas can add up quickly for auto owners. Car sharing companies tout lower costs and reduced traffic emissions as benefits of their service model.
