About Us

ecoBorrow was created as a result of several real life experiences over the last few years. One might think these situations can be solved using old traditional networking techniques such as talking to your neighbor down the street or to a friend at work. But, as you learn more, you'll be amazed by the large number of opportunities created by adopting the new social networking platform with ecoBorrow.

It all started when one of our founders, Dave, met a neighbor, Mark, for the first time. During their 20 minute conversation, Dave mentioned his goal of painting a fence in his back yard. At that time and without hesitation, Mark offered to lend Dave his Wagner paint sprayer, which he purchased 5 years ago for $150 and only used once. Dave picked it up later that day and returned it after the weekend.

Another founding member, Mario, bought a Table Saw for $225 at the local home improvement store to use for his shelving project. Now that his project is completed, his table saw won't be collecting any sawdust soon as it takes up space in his garage.

Ultimately, we created ecoBorrow to assist in addressing two significant societal problems. First, by helping individuals save money at a time when they are feeling the impact of a global recession. Second, by encouraging individuals to do their part to improve the environment by reducing the consumption of goods, and by reusing items that can be borrowed from a friend or a neighbor.

At ecoBorrow, we desire to merge traditional networking with today's online social networking. Your private group will make it easy to meet new people in your neighborhood and help you save money during these tough economic times. Most importantly, ecoBorrow will help you do your part in creating an eco-friendly community. The only way we can help more people save money and save the environment, is by SPREADING THE WORD to your family, friends and neighbors. As you learn more, you'll see how the benefits of passing along this website could benefit everyone around the world for generations to come.
