	Perhaps its a bit premature to suggest this, but maybe we can also do a "Green Living Do It Yourself Project Set. This would be similar to the GVCS but focused on just doing repair projects and small green living projects. It would be a counteraction against the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence Programmed obsolescence devices]] we buy from current manufacturers. We can focus on repairing broken down domestic equipment and practical makeshift things. I think it would be much more in line with the current "zeitgeist" (which runs more along the lines of small green "transition-type" DIY projects (done by individuals), see [http://www.instructables.com/howto/going+green/ here], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repair_Caf%C3%A9 here] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_Towns_%28network%29#Transition_Network here] rather than large projects (which can only be done by large organizations).

Perhaps its a bit premature to suggest this, but maybe we can also do a "Green Living Do It Yourself Project Set. This would be similar to the GVCS but focused on just doing repair projects and small green living projects. It would be a counteraction against the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence Programmed obsolescence devices]] we buy from current manufacturers. We can focus on repairing broken down domestic equipment and practical makeshift things. I think it would be much more in line with the current "zeitgeist" (which runs more along the lines of small green "transition-type" DIY projects (done by individuals), see [http://www.instructables.com/howto/going+green/ here], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repair_Caf%C3%A9 here] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_Towns_%28network%29#Transition_Network here] rather than large projects (which can only be done by large organizations).

3D printing projects can also be added, for making replacement parts of broken down equipment, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence

Some examples of useful projects:
