Zilok is like eBay for lending. Instead of buying a lawnmower, exercise bike or ice cream maker, and only using it twice a year, you can search for the things you need and hire them from people near you. Or you can rent out the lawnmower, exercise bike or ice cream maker you bought and never use, to recoup some of the cost. It saves the planet because instead of buying un-used junk, we can all share it instead.
