Risk more than others think is safe,
Care more than others think is wise,
Dream more than others think is practical,
Expect more than others think is possible.
-Claude Bissell
At Community Gearbox, we know the climate crisis and overconsumption are intertwined. That’s why we’re building this company, using our voice, and mobilizing our community to challenge the patterns of individual consumption that drive so much waste.
Household consumption contributes to more than 60% of global GHG emissions and between 50% and 80% of total land, material and water use
- Yale Study, 2016
Our offering is a niche social platform for friends, family, and colleagues to share and distribute the things they have with the people they love.
Through this simple act we collectively reduce our carbon footprint, exit wasteful patterns of individual consumerism, and strengthen our relationships.



In our first protoype, users pooled together an astounding amount of stuff – over $100k worth. For these friends, this meant beach trips with wetsuits and tools for tidepooling, road trips with fancy camera equipment, and more. All without having to individually store, take care of, or let alone spend money on those items.
With Community Gearbox you’ll never lose track of another item again.
We’re not a rental shop. We’re not Craigslist. We’re a niche social platform to help your friends and family consume less and do more together.
1. To systematically decrease individual consumption, global waste and mitigate climate change
2. To help individuals spur deeper relationships with friends through projects and adventures, while concurrently building wealth and abundance together
