MISSIONOur mission is to reduce inefficient consumption, conserve natural resources and strengthen communities.We will provide an easy, enjoyable, and secure way to facilitate lending and borrowing among members of local networks. WHAT WE DOneighBORROW is a website that makes it easy and worthwhile for people to borrow things they need to use but don't need to own.The site provides members of local networks access to a collective online catalog of the items they each own individually. Our technology facilitates the exchange of these items and promotes equitable participation and security through the use of lending requirements, accountability metrics, and customizable privacy settings. Ultimately, neighBORROW’s lend and return model helps our members save both money and the environment by providing them access to items that would otherwise be purchased new. About the founders

We are using Endicia.com to integrate postage into neighborrow.com. We are encouraging local transactions but using the mail to neighborrow is still better than buying, renting, going without, or wasting. Now you can print out postage and labels directly from the site and drop items in the mail directly from your home. You can even track the packages. Our friends at ZeeMaps are helping us out with all of our GOOGLE MAPPING needs. Not only will they provide utility by making it easier to locate neighborrow-hoods that already exist near you, but they will provide a some fun as well. Instead of selling that stack of books by the pound or one by one on the online auction sites, put them on "permalend"(?) with neighborrow. You still technically own these items but now you can track them all over your state, the country, or the world while other people enjoy them. Books are just an example, you can permalend anything! Take a look at this example of stuff the founders have lent out and where the items have wound up (coming very soon). Or just look at this example. Camp Towanda was a home away from home for both founders for many many summers. We are hoping that Camp Towanda is one of the premier virtual neighborrowhoods so that everyone affiliated with this great place can now share more than just great memories! While Semester at Sea* ® is neither affiliated with nor a sponsor of neighborrow.com, we hope it will be another charter neighborrow-hood. Founder Adam Berk was on the SS Universe Explorer in s99 and will personally verify every member of the SAS neighborrow-hood. neighborrow can be used during the voyage to borrow books or movies during those long ocean crossings or camera accessories while in port. After the voyage, we can all share our DVDs and similiar items through the mail. It is also a great way to keep in touch. A personal note, I sincerely believe that anyone with the opportunity should study abroad with Semester at Sea. (*Semester at Sea is a registered mark of the Institute for Shipboard Education.)
