This article on ninemsn.com.au tells us about “kids” doin'-it-themselves, in terms of reducing our over-consumption and thus our pollution and waste.
Good on 'em!
For what my thoughts are worth, I'm inclined to offer the suggestion for them “Make your own energy, kids!”
As I recently blogged, “12 and 24 volts are the new 240 volts” or such, what with technology refining products away from our old dependence upon 240 volt power.
“Local” is the new “grid power”, where we can, by being a bit industrious in Dad's shed, spend a bit of time and thinking to build the very easy-to-build equipment many of today's electrical appliances need for electrical power.
I hope the kids are prepared to learn how to use a soldering iron etc.
