The Tool Library

The solution to the loneliness epidemic is the expansion of public goods: tool libraries & repair cafes, community greenhouses, municipal saunas, winter garden parks These simultaneously reduce the need for wage labor while creating public communal spaces for socializing

Just sent out Part 3 in my humble roadmap for leading us out of hell world You know where to find it

Every town should have a tool library. It may seem like a small thing—a storefront full of tools anyone can borrow for free—but it’s a **real utopia**: a world full of public goods; reinvigorated communal life; abundance AND degrowth; use value instead of commodity value

Our first day back open at our new location, and it feels SO good! ✨🛠️ Stop by 2626 Main Street for all your tool borrowing needs! #borrowandbuild #borrowdontbuy

An infrastructure agenda for municipal eco-socialism, Pt. 3! 1) Tool libraries & workshops Every town gov’t should operate a tool library where residents can check-out tools as needed. This would make tool access free & universal while dramatically reducing resource consumption
