The Guardian has just put together its list of 50 people who could save the planet. It’s an interesting and diverse list.

You can read it by clicking here.

We can only hope the ongoing discovery of rentoid.com assists in the process.

Update: Of course who gets reported is the same as in all things in life - profile creates exposure. See some interesting and valid comments from Adam below.

Climate change is regarded by many as the biggest problem facing the global community.  It’s an issue that is unlikely to be resolved any time soon due to the fact the climate change isn’t the problem. It’s actually the symptom.

The problem is excessive consumption.

Everything we do (consume) happens to emit greenhouse gases. Driving, eating, buying, mining and buildings all consume energy and resources being manufactured, delivered and used.  Governments and corporations are unlikely to encourage reduced consumption because apparently, growth is good.

We don’t have to stop living to make a difference. Nor can we simply offset carbon emmissions and imagine everything will be Ok. Simple things like walking to the shop, and renting some items instead of buying them will make all the difference.

At rentoid.com we promise the following: we will refund any transaction fees if anything goes wrong with a rental through us - ever.

That’s it. Simple. No terms and conditions. Just let us know.

The rentoid fee of 5% of the rental price is only payable if you rent something,  ie; make some cash. Although you pay ‘us’ before the rental transaction is complete… if anything ever goes wrong, will fix it. An example might be someone not turinng up to collect the item.

The good news: We haven’t had a problem yet! We find our members use rentoid for good reason and are so far of good character. Which is very cool

And when we say ”No tricks”, we mean it!

The best way to reduce your eco footprint is this simple:

Rent things instead of buying them. Do it here at rentoid.com & tell your friends who might care to know.

Here’s a tip for our fellow rentoid-ers:

* Get photos of your rental items straight from Google images. *

Unless it’s very unusual, you can usaully find an image on google images. We would recommend you mention in the listing that the photo is ’similar’ to the ‘actual item’.

Many items like a certain digital camera, a lawn mower or a motorbike will have the exact model right there for you already photographed. Just ensure it is royalty free.

Given that people aren’t buying the item (like Ebay) it is usually Ok. It’s quicker and it’s much better than not having a photo.

If you’re in Melboure today you’ll know it is currently 42 degrees celsius / 108 Fahrenheit. It’s extremely hot!

So we thought it might be helpful to list a few survival tips which go beyond staying hydrated & wearing sunscreen:

• Sit under a beach tent if in the sun
• Go for a surf
• Go for a boat ride (sea breeze is very cooling)
• Sit in front of an air conditioner / air cooler
• Make a fruit smoothie at home
• Fill your freezer with home made cordial ice drinks
• Go for a walk in the evening and get an ice cream
• Remember to organise a weekend at a beach house
• Take some photos at sunset or of the kids playing under the hose
• Go snorkling (even if in a pool)
• Turn on your misquito zapper for tonight
• Have a BBQ with your friends & family in the cooler evening
• Hose down the dog & then take it for a cooling walk
• leave the office early

Yep… you can get any of the stuff you might need to do any of these things on rentoid.com  (BBQ’s, Freezers, Surfboards, beach tents, Snorkling gear, boats, air conditioners, cameras, blenders, beach houses, hoses and even a dog!)

…and if we haven’t got it listed, we’ll find a member who has it.

Stay cool. The rentoid team.

The 100 mile cafe has been around Melbourne (city of the rentoid.com global head office) for a bit over 6 months. So we reckon it deserves a mention on this here rentoid blog!

The basic premise is that they source all their ingredients (and business inputs for that matter) from within a 100 mile radius. This has three great benefits:

1. Reduced environmental impact of transporting food & beverages.
2. Fresher cuisine due to the sourcing proximity raw ingredients.
3. The 100 mile radius ultimately benefits local communities & business.

There are a couple of small exceptions like coffee, which can only be grown in hotter climates. Although they still take the closest option which happens to be Byron Bay. 

This is the type of thinking we need in business. Asking how we can do things locally and so reduce our eco footprints. Which often results in doing soemthing awesome and unique to boot!

You can read a full review of the restuarant / cafe by clicking here.

Their moto is: Think globally, eat locally.

We couldn’t agree more…. think globally, rent locally!

Well then why not let us know what you think of rentoid.com ?

We love it when we get feedback and we pretty much implement that feedback 9 times out of 10.  That’s because our members are smarter than us when it comes to what their needs are. Pretty simple we reckon.
