MAKE:DAY

- Category: Planning & Design
“ In
these challenging times we need to learn, or re-learn, how to do a
lot of the things we have been able to buy. As we move from being
solely consumers we will need to nurture a DIY ethic, to value re-use
and we will have to be a lot more resourceful.
Its time to skill up for the power down.”
