Share Tompkins is United Against Hate
A good example for Collaborative Consumption is private carsharing, which is now also becoming more and more popular in Europe. Examples of this include WhipCar in Great Britain on http://www.whipcar.com/ and rent-n-roll in Germany on http://www.rent-n-roll.de/ . Nevertheless, promoting p2p car rental might be a whole lot easier in countries where ownership of a certain good is not as important as its use. In my view, that’s one of the reasons the U.S. is the chief pioneer for Collaborative Consumption.
Well spammed, those are some good points.
