Saving sustainably: borrowing instead of buying in Bremen-Nord!

Vegesack, Deutschland - In Bremen-Nord, interest in sustainable surrogation models is growing, which make both ecologically and economically useful ones. At a time when many people are careful to use resources efficiently, various initiatives offer practical opportunities to borrow outdoor equipment and games instead of buying them. This represents a particularly attractive option for families and active people who want to have fun outdoors.

Katja Bischoff, spokeswoman for the Bremen City Library, emphasizes how important it is to promote equal opportunities and sustainability by borrowing everyday objects. For three years now, citizens in the city library have been able to borrow a wide range of everyday objects, including many exciting outdoor games for the summer. In the districts of Lesum and Vegesack, practitioners can also borrow handcarts and other useful things, which makes it easier to enjoy nature.

A cheap membership for all

Membership in the city library is particularly affordable at a maximum of 26 euros per year and offers numerous discount options. This allows all fellow citizens to secure access to this resource -saving alternative. In addition, the toy rental Articolo has created a flexible regulation: Parents can even borrow toys for their children without membership. The concept of the Lesumer play shop is similar to that of Articolo and contributes to taking into account the needs of the community.

The Bremen loan club offers another very helpful offer, which provides a variety of objects to borrow. These include, for example, tools, folding pavilions and deck chairs. Members only pay five euros a month and have access to the Leihlager in the Stephaniviertel around the clock. A special highlight is the upcoming information event of the Bremen loan club, which takes place on July 19 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Grossenstrasse 20. Here interested parties can learn more about the variety of offers.

Additional body offers and common use

Not only the Bremen loan club is involved in the area of lending of objects. The Bremen youth ring also provides tent and marquee sets, which significantly expands the possibilities for events and festivals. In addition to this, a brochure entitled "Sustainable Use" offers a comprehensive overview of further loans and sustainable usage practices in the region. This can be called up online at Klimawerkstadt-bremen.de.

The trend towards sharing and borrowing is not only limited to Bremen-Nord. All over Germany, more and more people are discovering the advantages of sharing models that extend into numerous areas. Whether B2B (business-to-business), B2C (business-to-consumer) or P2P (peer-to-peer)-there are many starting points for the joint benefit of resources. Platforms enable the exchange of objects of all kinds, from car to electronics to furniture and clothing, and thus lower the ecological footprint of each individual. [Start -up platform] illuminates this development in more detail and underlines the variety of possibilities.

In everyday life, sharing goods are increasingly becoming normal. The responsible use of resources is also promoted and food waste is reduced by food sharing and second-hand platforms. [Öcoportal] emphasizes that surrogate models not only offer ecological advantages, but also take many economic aspects into account so that everyone involved can benefit.

With such possibilities, not only the individual wallet is spared, but also an important contribution to a sustainable lifestyle. The borrowing instead of buying could thus shape the future of the Bremen North Region and beyond.
