    P S, Basically, instead of having to pay full price to buy something you need (an object, a tool) - you can have it only when you need it and pay a lot less. For example: you need a tool that you will only need *once,* instead of buying it, for tens/hundreds of dollars, you can pay 5$ or something and use it that one time you need and return it to the Tool Library. Not only you economize a lot of money, but it also is way more ecologically sustainable, since we won't have each to own every single tool we ever need, we won't need to waste garage space for those tools, etc. We'll just have one of these Libraries in our town, and we could come there and get whatever tool we need in order to get any job done.

    I'm sure you'd know more than a scientist who's invested years of his life studying this particular species of cactus. They are rare, you didn't have one, and the elephantipes grow from a caudex, not whatever you're saying. No one said every plant in that shop is rare; they said quite the opposite. They just don't sell to people like you who overwater.
