Ecomodo : good for students

Need stuff for a party, for hosting friends or to learn something new? Got stuff you don't use all the time? If so, you've come to the right place!

Ecomodo.com is an award winning peer-to-peer website that enables people, like yourself, to lend or borrow those everyday objects that so often gather dust in cellars, sheds and lofts with other's nearby.


From tools to tents; camera lens to canoes, you can list your items to lend and see what others have on offer. Items can be lent for free or as a lender you can charge for an item, and choose if you want to keep the fee or make a donation to charity.


Lend objects, spaces or even your skills; Ecomodo makes it easy to be green and live the life you want to without having to give stuff up.




Four great reasons Ecomodo is good for students ..

1. It's FREE to join and add items to lend!

Ecomodo is FREE to join and always will be. And even if you're not sure what to lend or borrow, sign up and we'll keep you updated of new items to borrow and wanted ads in your area

2. Make extra cash, fundraise or lend for free

By lending out our own stuff, your skills or time or spare space, Ecomodo is an easy way to make money for yourself or for a good cause you are passionate about. And you can always choose lend for free just to feel good about helping others out nearby.


But if you're concerned about lending your stuff, Ecomodo has some clever features that will make you more comfortable to share including: lending circles to automatically control who can borrow your gear, deposits and insurance for extra peace of mind and just like Ebay, a feedback rating system checks that both parties are happy at the end of a lend. More about lending with confidence


So just look under your bed or in your shed and make better use of all that stuff just gathering dust. Not sure what to lend? Get inspired or browse items that other's are already lending.

3. Save money by borrowing the things you need ..

Ecomodo makes it easy to borrow the things you need just for the time you need them at a low or no cost. Whether you're having a party; going on holiday; hosting visitors; gardening; learning something new or even trying something before you buy; Ecomodo can help you do more for less.


Looking for something locally that's not yet listed? Post a wanted ad.

4. Live more, waste less, share and be happy!

The average lifetime of a drill is around 20 minutes the rest of the time it sits idly collecting dust, so we thought: "Hey you don't need to own a drill when you just want to make a couple of holes".


Whatever you're doing, be it a chore or an adventure, Ecomodo can help you to get access the things you need, to live the life you want to and be a little bit more green without having to give stuff up. And the simple act of sharing and helping others out can make you feel happy and it's a great way to make new friends and meet your neighbours!
