A competition for a film on DVD, wrapped around a short piece about the sharing economy as it stood in 2012. The page named Freecycle, the car sharing service WhipCar, the clothing site Big Wardrobe and a platform called The People Who Share, and argued that borrowing rather than buying amounted to a form of recycling.

Read now, the list is a period document. WhipCar closed in 2013 and Big Wardrobe has gone, so most of what the page recommended no longer exists.

This is one of very few records filed under the site's /stuff/ section rather than under /lifestyle/, and it sits in the lifestyle archive here because that is where its subject belongs. A cosmetics ethics site links to the address.
