Here's another idea for reducing pollution and saving $$$ ... a car-share co-op! It could also be a business opportunity (the Toronto "co-op" is a business, while in Vancouver it's non-profit). Here's the scoop on the recently revved up Toronto "Autoshare" (which i suppose is not technically a co-op) - - - - - > http://www.autoshare.com Could Halifax, Charlottetown or Fredericton be next? As recently as a year ago, the Toronto co-op was just a gleam in someone's eye ... see below for a message that gives insight into how it got started. ~paul :) NB the following is an OLD message from last year talking about starting things up in TO. It's in operation now, at the website noted above. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > Date: Mon, 20 Apr 1998 22:44:07 -0400 > From: Carolyn MacInnis <carolynmacinnis@canadamail.com> > Subject: Car Sharing > > Hello everyone, > > I have used a mailing list from a memo sent to me last June by Liz > Reynolds. > > I am starting a car sharing co-op.
