I have finally gotten the first draft of my Urban Dweller’s DIY finally up. Please check it out! Bear in mind that this is a work in progress. What I am especially interested in is bringing together all kinds of ways people are working towards living a more sustainable life. I am eager for suggestions as well as contributions on this. I have a couple more practical tutorials on their way so keep posted for an updated version coming soon. There are so many great ideas out there. Everything counts, small big, you name it.
