Global warming will test a community's collaboration, strength and resilience


G

lobal warming will test many things, among them the collaboration within communities, their strength and resilience.

The “Get2Gether Challenge” is conscious of this and so has put together a video that illustrates a d neighbourhood sharing arrangement and a “time-bank”.

Treehugger reports: “Essentially a neighbourhood exchange program that allows people to connect and trade their skills, time banks work by providing a system through which neighbours perform tasks or services for each other—anything from DIY to accounting to gardening skills—and earn "hours" in the time bank (everyone's time is valued equally), which they can then trade with other neighbours for other skills.”
