Community Surplus Distribution Hub
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: As our cities expand, we're facing a real dilemma: We're consuming more than ever before – tons of food, clothes, gadgets – and yet, perfectly good items are ending up in landfills, because there's no easy way to dispose of them. We are left with a situation where some have too much while others barely have enough. Why do existing systems become weak? Traditional methods of donating are often entangled in paperwork and logistical problems. Goods often get lost in the shuffle, leading to unequal distribution where some people have a lot and others have nothing. Also, commercial markets focus on the highest bidder, not those who need the goods most. There is a real lack of transparency and fairness in the current system.
