This shit is badass:
• When I loan my rototiller to a friend, that builds social capital. When I then crash my bike and have to ride to his house for first aid (yes, this really happened), that generates social capital.
• When your community comes together to clean up a run-down park, that generates social capital.
• You create social capital when you join a bowling league, a knitting circle, or a book group. You create social capital when you go to church or join a social club.
• When you stop to help a stranded motorist, you’re creating social capital.
• Social capital grows when you share the surplus from your vegetable garden with your neighbors and co-workers.
