Cash In on the Sharing
Economy
You
can save money or earn a few extra bucks by sharing
Neal Gorenflo of San Francisco went on a sharing crusade three years
ago. He identified about 30 ways to share, including peer-to-peer car-rental
service Getaround, home-sharing service Airbnb and a shared
nanny for his infant son. Gorenflo estimates that his efforts over the course
of a year saved him $17,000. But he had another agenda: Gorenflo is co-founder
of Shareable, a nonprofit online hub for information on the sharing
economy. He wrote about his year of sharing to generate enthusiasm for
his passion.
In the three years since Gorenflo conducted his experiment, the sharing
economy has exploded. There are nearly 5,000 sharing companies, organizations
and programs, according to the Mesh Labs Global Sharing Economy Index. And by
some estimates they will generate billions of dollars in revenue this year.
Belt-tightening during the economic downturn played a role in the rise of the
sharing economy, as more people looked for ways to turn idle resources into
cash—say, by renting out a barely used bicycle to neighbors—or to take on a
part-time gig. In turn, sharing services found a willing clientele of newly
cost-conscious consumers. And technological advances, in the form of the Web
and mobile applications, made it easy to connect services with people.

Surprising Outdoor Cleaner
The other day, I was
outside looking at the dirt and pollen (and, yes, even algae) buildup on my
white deck railings. I decided to try something that removes "stuck
on" food from my pans.
I mixed just a tiny
bit of liquid, automatic dishwasher detergent in warm water and sprayed the
deck railings. It didn't have to stay on there long before I was able to just
wipe them clean. I then sprayed some resin chairs that had set out over the
entire winter and the mixture broke through the grime on these as well. It
worked better than any store bought cleaner I had ever tried!
