Libraries of Things with Andrew Sage

How can we do better at sharing and reusing the items we already own?

In a time of excess, overconsumption and rampant pollution, what if libraries could hold the solutions? We open up the series with Trinbagonian writer, YouTuber and artist Andrew Sage who explores the possibilities of a world with libraries of things. Similar to how libraries around the world make books available, this episode explores what’s possible when we have shared access to a variety of tools, resources and household items. Touching on concepts of sustainability and collectivity, Andrew discusses the potential that libraries of things could offer in helping us to move away from systems of wealth inequality and scarcity to systems of collective care and abundance.
