Example of Goods Exchanged

Members of St. Pete Timebank also choose to share goods – their own material capital –  for the benefit of the community.  This is often done when items are no longer wanted by the member and they want keep them out of the landfill or there is abundance to share. 

These items are not bought or sold, they are shared within the community and time credits are logged to record the exchange.  For more information on the sharing of material capital in St. Pete Timebank, see this article.
