社區居民互助的一種形式：Time Exchange

有的也叫time share，timebank。社區居民互相幫助，利用各自特長，解決家庭所需。不需要錢，但付出的是時間。在各自需要的時候，相互交換。

美國的民間組織，解決很多實際的問題，非常有意思。下麵這段視頻，是在網上看到的加州long beach的一段介紹。

Timebanking is a kind of money. Give one hour of service to another, and receive one time credit.

For one person to earn a time credit, however, someone else has to agree to give it. Timebanking happens when a network or circle of members have agreed that they will give and receive credits for services that other members provide. Those networks are called “timebanks.”
