What is Share economy?
Economy is a big term!
There is a lot of different kinds of economy, but when talking about green economy, we have come up with some great solutions 🙂
Why is it a good solution?
Sharing economy is a great solution, because we can both save money and energy. The result of this initiative is that we save the climate from CO2 emissions. Therefore, we take care of the environment 🙂
3 points on share economy:

Share economy in Offenburg:
One of the initiatives that we have seen here in Offenburg, that includes sharing economy, is the bikes placed at the station and around the city. These bikes are meant to be used instead of cars. And as a private person, you do not have to buy a bike and use lots of money on that. This is also a way to save energy in the production of bikes 🙂
