This article got me thinking about it: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/radon-testing-libraries-9.6937952

A lot of items could work, but is there something you think we should prioritize first?

Tool libraries should be more common. From basic renovation tools like saws and hammers, to yardcare tools like mowers and whipper-snippers, to more specialty tools like bike maintenance tools such as torque wrenches with Allen key heads. It's sill to have to own tools that you aren't using almost every week.
