About [Edit]
ToolzDo is a new community resource offering a one-stop shop for reuse of stuff, resource sharing and community building. Rent, swap or donate goods and services. Give and get free stuff. All in one place.
We call it the "Good Economy of Stuff." Rather than buying more stuff, use what is already available to reduce waste, consumerism and stress.
85% of Americans feel less connected to their neighbors than two decades ago, according to Liberty Mutual Responsibility Project Index. In actually, neighborhoods have been on a sharp decline for the past 50 years as we are increasingly becoming night dwellers in our neighborhoods.
ToolzDo is a Swiss Army(tm) knife for building community by connecting neighbors in practical ways.
ToolzDo.com is the first and only web platform that combines the old spirit of cooperative living with an advanced localized search and a flexible choice of renting and swapping to provide access to resources next door, around the corner or in your own backyard. Users can quickly post their stuff or services and find what they want more efficiently and economically using cutting edge web technology.
ToolzDo.com is also unique in that it supplements commerce with community awareness and purposeful social features to help bring locals together into a more connected community – see your neighbors and say “hello”, add them to your connection and stay connected, discuss community happenings and solve together, share your upcoming projects and get tips and maybe a helping hand, give unwanted stuff and get free stuff.
Local non-profits can also join and build awareness for their causes and post their wish list to their community.
