Alan: I've just finished Rachel Botsman and Roo Rogers' What's Mine Is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption, which documents and cheerfully promotes the rising tide of new, Internet-powered means of sharing and reusing things. From cars to extra bedrooms, toys to designer handbags, business loans to garden tools, scores of new companies and nonprofits are figuring out how to get all the benefits of ownership without all the cost -- or ecological footprint. Sightline is looking into such models, and the legal barriers to them, for Making Sustainability Legal, but this book is worth reading just for fun and inspiration.
