    What benefits does the sharing economy offer to you and others? If you are a little shy to try, what could be a first step for you?

    I think the sharing economy is beneficial to all in that it not only might give access to certain things people wouldn't have been able to obtain previously (due to lack of means, possibly), the sharing economy also builds a sense of community.
