It’s no secret that sharing means a lot (okay everything) to the Uniiverse team and we had an inkling that it was important to others too, but we wanted to know for sure! So we went out into the depths of the Internet and asked, “what does sharing mean to you?” The responses range from heartfelt to serious to silly, but one thing’s for sure, we are not alone in our passion for the sharing economy. Check out the video above to see what people are saying and maybe think about what sharing means to you. What do you have to share?
