Join the Ecomodo Facebook Group please
Please try ecomodo.com -the latest (& fastest growing?) new player in the 'sharing and gift economy' -and please let us know what you make of it as a website/proposition?
Feedback on what you make of ecomodo's pitch is welcome via:
Edmund & I met Meriel & Tracey (ecomodo) at UK Aware on Friday and gave them a couple of our new freelender packs, which Freelending CIC will gladly post to people involved in promoting sharing in their communities.
If the bigger agenda is one of finding the best tools to support sharing; ecomodo offers, IMHO, a significant step forward. I particularly like how the money made from renting out my stuff can support my favourite charity.
(By the way, my favourite charity is karuna.org; all money from renting out/selling my stuff goes there.)
If I lived in Brent and wanted to support a charity addressing the most important issues of how we relate to each other, I'd likely choose to support the Centre for Peaceful Solutions, which is led by Maria Arpa and who I interviewed briefly on Friday morning before the UK Aware Ethical Living exhibition:
I've been working to develop the networking all the relevant organisations together so that saving resources and building community can take us towards the holy grail of sustainability in how we live.
To this end, Edmund Johnson and I set up Freelending CIC in 2008. Please subscribe to this blog to stay in touch with the key developments not only for freelender.org but also for the more important wider social movement (generosity) to which we contribute all we can.
I'm so impressed with ecomodo that I've just selected a large number of facebook friends whom I've recommended to join the ecomodo facebook group.
