The Sharing Solution is a timely practical and legal guide that explains how to create and maintain successful sharing arrangements while addressing common concerns about liability, communication, and more.\n\nThis book will help anyone share:\n\nMeals and food, through bulk buying clubs, meal-sharing arrangements, community gardens, neighborhood fruit harvests, and more\nHousehold goods, from tools and toys to appliances and exercise equipment\nCars, by sharing a car with a neighbor, starting or joining a car-sharing group, carpooling, or ride-sharing\nCaregiving, whether for pets, children, older family members, or relatives with disabilities\nBusiness resources, such as office supplies, equipment, space, and even employees\nHousing, whether by sharing a house, retrofitting a home to accommodate two households, or joining a cohousing community\n\nThe Sharing Solution speaks to Americans' growing desire to not only live more sustainably, but also save money and create stronger communities. Sharing is a simple step anyone - young or old, rich or poor - can take, right now, to make a difference.\n\nWho can benefit from sharing?\n\nBusy parents looking for help with meals or pet care\nRetirees who are looking to share needed services\nAnyone concerned about the environment and wants to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle.\nAnyone who wishes to purchase property but can't afford a single-family home\nProfessionals who work in community development\nLow-income families or those who require - or desire - a purchase that they cannot single-handedly afford\n\nThe authors, attorneys Janelle Orsi and Emily Doskow, bring a visionary spirit to developing practical, logistical, and legal frameworks for many types of sharing arrangements.\n\nIn the book, you will find:\n\nSample written agreements for many kinds of sharing arrangements\nStep by step instructions for creating a sharing plan and sorting out logistics\nLegal explanations that are clear and accessible\nIdeas and examples of the creative ways that groups around the country have formed successful sharing arrangements\nTips for communicating with your sharing partners and handling disputes\nResources to help you find sharing partners, join existing sharing groups, and learn about helpful groups and organizations\nUseful checklists, charts, tables, and much more\n\nThe ultimate beauty of sharing is that it's a solution we create for ourselves. It's not a government program, nor is it the \"latest and greatest\" product marketed to us on billboards. It's a solution based on our own needs and lifestyles, in our own communities. It's a way for each of us to shape our own lives in positive ways and simultaneously benefit the world as a whole. In that respect, sharing is more than a simple trend: Some might even say our society is moving toward a sharing revolution. We hope you'll use The Sharing Solution to become part of it.\n\nReview\n\n\"This canny, thorough book offeres detailed advice on how to make clear sharing agreements and minimize potential confusion and conflict.\" (ERNEST CALLENBACH, author of Ecotopia and Ecotopia Emerging )\n\n\"[G]reat practical advice on how to act on our best instincts toward sustaining our society as well as ourselves in the 21st century.\" (BRUCE SIEVERS, Senior Fellow, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisers; Visiting Scholar, Stanford University )\n\nReview\n\nFrom the neighborhood level to the global, sharing may be the single most important strategy to reduce our environmental impact, gain financial health, promote equity and have fun.
