sharebee
By sharing the things you have and borrowing the things you need, you'll actually have more with less, less impact on the planet, less time and money wasted and less space taken up. We created sharebee to help you share more and waste less. We think that something is broken with the way we consume things in the modern world. Many of us have too much (us included) whilst others have nothing. When we need something, we default to buying and rarely consider that our neighbour or friend might be able to lend it to us. If we do borrow something, we worry in case we damage it and the feeling of being in debt to people makes us uncomfortable. And so more and more new things are made, and more and more existing things go under used. We set up sharebee in the hope that we could help people share more. Sharebee gives people permission to ‘knock' on someone's door and ask to borrow their things, it allows you to recover some of the money you spent buying things in the first place and by sharing with people you know and people you don't, it creates a stronger sense of community in your borough, town or city. When you lend things frequently, you learn that sharing makes you feel good. You get to help someone, and in the process, you make or save money and ease some of the strain on our already overstretched planet. There really is no downside. Sharebee is a planet first business, so we promise that we won't do anything unless it has a net positive effect on the planet, environment and people. There are enough business out there putting profit before planet and many more greenwashing their way through the climate and environmental crisis. We refuse to be one of them.
