Think Locally. Act Globally: Local Initiatives
Grand River CarShare is a cooperative that encourages people to use personal cars less by offering a practical way of living without individually owning a car. It allows you to buy into the organization that collectively owns cars in your area that you can rent out. It allows you to help the environment by having fewer cars on the streets while saving money at the same time. If you need access to a car occasionally or want to downsize to a one car family check out this organization.
