Yearning
I do not usually reprint what has been sent to me via press release, but when I saw the word “share” in this release from Andrea Woroch, I was suddenly reminded of the book Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten.
What fragile memories we have, author Robert Fulghum intimated, that we only need to think of the basic, of what we used to do – being good and doing good – and the world would be a better place.
That advise still holds true and that is why this release appealed to me. The swapping and sharing websites featured in the article are just what we need in this materially-possessed world.
And I like the idea of being ecologically responsible.
I personally checked out the websites and was intrigued by BookMooch (book swapping), Home Exchange (travel) and Zwaggle (for baby stuff). I have not actually shared or swapped, because I am located in Asia (which makes me wish for a similar service here – and why don’t I start one?). But do let me know how it goes for you.
