The Problem
The Problem that will never go away without Rentalic's solution
Earth can only sustain between four and five acres of resources per person, but the average American's ecological footprint is nearly 24 acres. Yet, we continue to accumulate an abundance of items and clutter.
By promoting renting and re-use as an alternative to buying and creating new products, we can minimize the creation of new waste and help improve the environment.
The next time you consider making a purchase, ask yourself:
- 1. "Do I really need to own this product to get the job done?"
- 2. "How often would I really be using this?"
If the purchase is for a temporary project or seldom use, why not rent it from someone in your community? If you have things in storage or rarely use (tools, sports equipment, books, etc.), why not share it with your community? The Rentalic model helps owners of goods make money and borrowers save money while reducing our overall carbon footprint.
