Document Summary

Personally, i ve been one to engage in sharing economy, mostly as a consumer, and thus i find many ways in which one should engage in the sharing economy. They key reason is that the concept of collaborative consumption allows for individuals to participate in mutualized access to products or services, rather than finding individual ownership. For example, increasing mobility and convenience in waterloo can be done without owning a car; this is done by using. Similarly, i am able to visit anywhere in the world without having to purchase property by using airbnb. I also engage in sharing economy as it allows me to reduce the negative environmental impacts through the decrease of the amount of goods that need to be produced. Buying second hand not only reduces industrial pollution from production but allows me to find items that otherwise would be made available in regular stores.
