Every year, Europeans send 2.5 billion tonnes of waste to landfills. The sharing economy offers a simple solution: share more, waste less.
The Numbers
- A power drill is used an average of 13 minutes in its lifetime
- The average car sits parked 95% of the time
- 40% of household items are used less than once a month
One item serving 10 people reduces production and waste by 90%.
Carbon Impact
Manufacturing a power tool generates 10-20 kg CO2. Shared among 10 neighbors = 90-180 kg CO2 saved per tool.
What You Can Do Today
- Before buying — check LocaYo first
- After buying — list items you don't use daily
- Spread the word — sharing works better with more people
Every rental is a purchase that didn't happen. Rent more. Own less. Live better.
