Great post!
I've always loved coops and their model. I've only thought of them in terms of the workers owning the company, but this works just as great and better for everyone involved.
Sharing is caring. But indeed, consciousness needs to change. Many people when they borrow things, don't treat them well, and don't return it, etc.
We need to be more responsible and care more about how we treat other people's thing. Coops bring people together. It's always been the future I want to see happen. Thanks for the writeup.
This post is not way too long lol. It's sad the attention span or time people don't want to invest in reading posts on Steemit...
Take care. Peace.
Thank you!
It's true—responsibility is lacking modernly. Some say it is human nature not to take care of something you don't own. I believe that by having a partial financial stake in something, people are likely to take better care of its resources. This mitigates the tragedy of the commons, but also corporate waste. Even if the financial stake isn't enough, that's what the membership agreement is for! :D

Absolutely agree!!! I believe by expanding the sense of self to encompass "other" peoples "things" is the only way to avoid mis-use of shared resources!
Also, I'm wondering if you have anymore posts related to this topic. You mentioned you would be writing in more detail and I would love to see what you have come up with and compare notes:) We seem to be on a very similar thought process and I would love to collaborate :)
