Eric Britton intro to WCS video library

Eric Britton of the New Mobility Agenda (http://newmobility.org) introduces the in-process World Carshare video library -- an Informal collection of videos on our topic fed in initially by carshare operators world wide, and more recently by users and students. The initial videos (top of the list) are intended to clarify the main principles and demonstrate some of the differences in various carshare operations around the world. The latter entries are given over increasingly to user comments and observations, including some student videos. Important we think because they give an idea in which a good and sustainable idea (carsharing) is beginning to be viewed from a variety of perspectives in a variety of places. It suggest to me that the next great challenge of the World Carshare community, will be to find ways of brining affordable transport to some of the people who need it most (namely, people who really are too poor to afford a car). A very different set of challenges.

For more on our topic, go to http://www.worldcarshare.com. Ideas, suggestions, additional entries? Contact Eric Britton via eric.britton@ecoplan.org. Thanks. (And oh yes, do try carsharing. Once you get the hang of it you'll love it. Reduce that carbon footprint, save money, and meet some new people.)
