We only use many of our possessions on a few occasions. Reducing consumption is a measure that can mitigate the effects of climate change. They are closely linked to how we produce things, particularly through the use of fossil fuels that have been the backbone of our industrialized society for over a century. It doesn't work anymore.

When you borrow, repair or take over things from others instead of buying new ones, you save money. But you also reduce waste, the burden on the environment and contribute to creating a more circular society.

To make a circular society work, we need to help each other. We need to create a community. In HelpVillage you will find other people with the same goals. To reduce overconsumption, to reduce the mountain of rubbish and at the same time to create a larger local network and a larger community.
