I discovered several wonderful sharing projects at the Green Festival in San Francisco this past weekend. First up: Rentalic helps individual people rent their stuff -- lawnmowers, parking spaces, clothes, whatever you got --to other people. A social venture that combines for-profit and non-profit goals, their mission is "to help people save money, make money, and save the environment by encouraging reuse and sharing through person-to-person renting."
They charge a $.99 fee from those renting, and community members negotiate rental fees and terms between them. Rentalic launched a month ago, just like Shareable.net, and, like us, they're still beta. Sign up to become a charter member, and help improve and build the service!

Hmm...i think it's about time that people can go back to the days where communities are united and willing to share their stuff to help neighbors out. Good job!

I would love to rent out my unused paintball gear that I dont use anymore. A few of my old teammates can probably do the same as well! Cool!
Love the idea.. Has a nice commercial and none-commercial angle to it. Much needed concept for small communities.
