Action Track: Building Resilience Support A Sharing Economy

What are the benefits of a sharing economy? How could a sharing economy change the dynamics you have with friends, family and/or neighbors?

Yes that is absolutely true. I take my work outside via laptop as much as I can. It increases my creativity and supports my positive mood and outlook.
