The new book What’s Mine is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption is out September 28, marking the end of 20th century Hyper Consumption for a new 21st century Collaborative Consumption.  The Movement involves the emerging economies of “traditional sharing, bartering, lending, trading, renting, gifting, and swapping redefined through technology and peer communities.”  Most of us already know about things like Zipcar and Craigslist, but how about Couch Surfing which connects travelers with places to stay, or Shared Earth which brings together land owners with farmers and gardeners?  Sharing is in, do it.
