"A must read for change makers everywhere who seek lasting,
systemic change with multiple benefits. This timely, inspirational
read shows through tangible examples how sharing can bring people
together, meet basic needs, and reduce waste. Nothing could be more
relevant given the mounting social, economic, and environmental
crises." Neal Gorenflo, Co-founder and Executive Director of
Shareable and Executive editor, Sharing Cities: Activating the
Urban Commons
“A glorious and glossy, around-the-world look at the global sharing
economy from the viewpoints of a diverse and inspiring group of
young change makers. Printed on sustainable paper, a percentage of
each copy sold helps fund planting a tree and educating a slum girl
in India. It educates, motivates and even agitates individuals and
corporations into joining the sharing community in a beautiful way.
Buy it. Read it. Love it. Share it.” DJ Paulette
"We have a saying in my house: 'Dream big and anything is
possible'. The extraordinary people in this book aren't just
dreaming but doing - against the odds to make their community and
the world a better place. Illuminating, humbling and
awe-inspiring." Samantha Simmonds, TV news presenter and
journalist
"In a world filled with “stuff” this inspirational book showcases
how we can share knowledge, skills and resources for the benefit of
all. " Oliver Heath, designer
"If we're serious about living within the means of our life-giving
planet, a sharing economy will be absolutely essential. This is a
hopeful and inspiring book setting out positive ways forward."
Caroline Lucas, MP for Brighton Pavilion

the author are diverse, magical and heart-warming." Patrick
Andrews, social innovation lawyer

shot in the arm to inspire and challenge. Buy it and share!”

“An indispensable guide to sharing, not just the facts, stats and
intellect that underpin the concept but also the joy, passion and
connection that will make it so crucial to our future.” Mike Barry,
Director of Sustainable Business, Marks and Spencer

us understand how." Christine Gent, director of Fashion Revolution

there. Hope it can be shared and read globally to inspire, delight
and push the agenda forward” Livia Firth, Founder and Creative
Director, Eco-Age
“This new book is a celebration of the sharing economy, and there
are three things that make it particularly impressive... First, it
focuses specifically on the people... (Secondly) It’s full of
wonderful photographs that land this abstract idea of a sharing
economy in real situations, contexts and needs... (Third) Everyone
gets a voice here, and the book is packed with inspiring but
ordinary people explaining their motivations for doing what they
do...” The Earthbound Report
