Being a friendly neighbor

Move over Ebay… Craigslist… Freecycle… Make room for Neighborrow.

This nifty site lets one create a local (physical) neighborhood or a virtual one - with the purpose of sharing items. For example, I have a lawnmower that we use infrequently; I could mention that I have it and let my neighbor borrow it when hers is in the shop. This website keeps track of who has borrowed it, what they owe you (either credits or cash), how long it has been gone and so on. One can also trade items (e.g., DVDs) or recycle (one man’s trash is another one’s treasure).

Since this fits in well with the message we’re trying to teach to the toddler, I’m now off to set up a neighborrowhood for my area…
