This has opened up my mind so much... this convo didn't go the way I thought it would and I'm now SO inspired. I feel completely useless in DIY scenarios and I just thought that I'd never be 'handy' (because its not written in the stars for me..) so I never tried. After reading this convo I'm now not so intimidated.. I've realised how empowering and essential this knowledge and way of being is now more than ever! 'Sustainable' really has lost it's meaning but perhaps the closest we can get on an individual basis is on being self-sufficient and forming a different type of relationship to the 'things' around us.
Santo! This is so great to hear and totally agree — Laura inspired me to want to try and tackle these things at home :). And yes, the buzz word of sustainable has become devoid of meaning, I think reorienting ourselves to taking care of and sustaining what we do have or buy is so important in our hyper consumption based society!
