Do you think people in the UK will ever get back to this kind of mentality that was mostly lost to the younger generations from the 80s onward? “At a recent meeting of a common security club in Boston—one of many groups around the U.S. where people come together to discuss ways to help each other get along in these shaky economic times—someone raised the idea of a tool exchange. Neighbours could take inventory of who owns a snow blower, wheelbarrow, extension ladder, drills, shovels, rakes and other gear that folks could share” This reflects a broader shift in thinking from the prevailing YO-YO ethic (“you’re on your own”) to WITT (“we’re in this together”). At the heart of this trend are people joining together to become “co-creators” of the world they want to see. They aren’t waiting for someone else to undertake the initiatives that are needed.
