Welcome to the first edition of The Good Stuff—your update on what’s working in the world from The Story of Stuff Project!

OUR NEW MOVIE Big news! Next Tuesday—World Water Day—we’re going to show the whole world what it looks like when a small community stands up to a giant corporation to protect its water. We need your help to get the message out, so stay tuned and share, share, share on March 22nd. This Small Town Took on Nestlé: See the Trailer and Share with Everyone You Know

GROWING SOLUTIONS This story about sharing, written by our Social Media Fellow, made our week. We hope it makes yours too! They Wanted to Share the Tools in their Garage. Now, All of Minneapolis is In On It.

Join hundreds of thousands of your fellow Story of Stuff Community members in telling Nestle: “Turn off the spigot in drought-ravaged San Bernardino!” #UnbottleWater Nestlé is Pumping California Dry on a Permit that Expired 25 Years Ago. Tell Them to Stop.

WHAT WE'RE READING There are a lot of upsetting stories in the news these days. But you know what’s not getting reported? A huge boom in what we call “the real sharing economy:”  Did you know there are now tool libraries in popping up in cities like Baltimore, Toronto, Montevideo, and so many others? Read about how to start a tool library or check out Baltimore’s Tool Library Symposium later this week! Last month, we enjoyed an exciting Toy Library webinar (listen here). Canada is about to get its own “Netflix of Things.” All in all, this is such a great time to give and take Stuff, downsize your Stuff, exchange Stuff, remember Stuff, and repair Stuff. Sharing truly strengthens the fabric of our communities.

WE WANT TO KNOW Speaking of healthy communities... In the U.S. and other places around the world, 2016 is a big election year--which is a great time to flex your citizen muscle! So, we’re burning with curiosity:do you plan to vote this year? TAKE THE SURVEY

That's it for The Good Stuff! Thanks for reading. Let's keep working together to build a brighter, better world for everyone. And let's have some fun doing it!
