SOCIAL INNOVATION IDEAS

Here are two ideas I came up with today:

THE GIFT ECONOMY - For lack of a better name this idea involves having a regular space and time for a neighborhood to give away things. It's the same idea as a farmers market but instead it is a kind of freecycle. You bring furniture, food, electronics or whatever to give away for FREE. Also you can come and receive for FREE.

VIDEO CO-OP - This probably exists already but what I'm thinking is a co-op where you would pay an initial 200$ membership fee and then be able to take out whatever you want, whenever, for FREE since you are an owner of the store. This can create serious competition for Blockbuster but it would be an interesting experiment.
