The reason? To prove that the sharing economy is alive and well and that people are GOOD!
If you were to find yourself in a foreign country with no money, no cell phone, and only the clothes on you back, how would you respond? Most people would likely freak out but believe it or not, eco-adventurer Rob Greenfield created a scenario similar to prove one thing: that people are ultimately good.
The environmentalist and activist – who is best known for raising awareness about food waste and conscious consumerism – left San Diego in January 2015 with a one-way ticket to Panama City to test the 'sharing economy' as well as determine whether or not he could find his way home relying only on the goodness of others.
