I was reading the paper today, and saw a really amazing article. Toronto is opening it's first Tool Library. People can visit this library in Parkdale for an inexpensive way to borrow tools.
"Other people who need the tools are having to spend their hard-earned money on buying new tools or renting them at an expensive price, when they (could be) available from a neighbour they haven’t met yet.” Amazing concept. If you make more than $40k/year, your membership fee is only a measly $50 - which, let's face it, you can't even buy a screwdriver set with. If your income is less, your fee is less - another amazing concept.
I'm so damn proud to be Torontonian sometimes - this is so cutting edge, yet the foundation of it all is still so friendly.
