Making and building things yourself is always satisfying. If we can do this with recycled products or renewable resources then its even better. It's also great when we see small businesses or a one-man-business having a direct impact on a local community.
Thank goodness I persevered through, as I eventually did find some hidden gems that are worthy of the curation.
It does remind me that the curation work undertaken by many groups including myself is so important in raising the profile of worth authors. I hope that you do take the time to read and interact with the curated posts below.
Before you read on, remember we have an upvote bot @greengrowth and a Discord channel https://discord.gg/6DhnVTQ. Using these helps the quality sustainability content get an increased profile on Steemit.
You don't need to be in Indonesia to make your own flute. This post had given instructions on how to make our own. Photos of a small workshop showing the production look great. No doubt these are used by kids in school who could potentially go home and make their own.
Another post, also of Indonesian instruments made from bamboo show some of the fantastic ways a renewable resource can be used. Bamboo can grow almost anywhere. It's fast growing and can be cut and hacked as much as you want- it will always grow back thicker and stronger.
It's function may be limited but it's still fun. A little bit of superglue and some old throw out items can really make anything. Great for kids (and adults) to practice some art and craft, it also encourages them to save and reuse.
