So many objects we possess are used only once a year, bought for a specific occasion (work, event, a sudden and fleeting passion…). Sharing instead of consuming is the alternative offered by objects libraries such as Manivelle in Switzerland or La Boutique du Partage in Nantes. A whole range of everyday life items are available for loan, just like books. Great initiatives to fight over-consumption and to put people and mutual help back at the centre of our lives while saving money and supporting circular economy.

We wish this movement to spread throughout Europe!
