| friendly guide to all things diy: DIY Household Green Cleaning - A Eco-Friendly Beginner's Guide To Cleaning Your Household FAST! Old Natural Ways, 2018-11-19 WHY YOU SHOULD GREEN CLEAN? AMAZING ADDED VALUE TO YOUR CLEANING EXPERIENCE Nothing is more important to this planet than finding alternatives to chemicals and practices that are harming it. Sometimes it is helpful to think of the earth as a living cell, one that we are living on. Once the cell dies, what do you think will happen to the other things inhabiting it? Not a pretty picture. Being environmental isn't just good for humanity at large, but it's great for the animals, our health, and sometimes even more importantly, our budgets. Discovering new ways to clean the house may even eliminate allergens that you didn't know your body was reacting to. For example, if you switch from a chemical based spray to aromatic oils to keep your home smelling fresh, you may stop sneezing on a regular basis. It can really work! Even if you're not outwardly allergic to chemicals, using big brand cleaners is a seriously unhealthy choice. Even if it doesn't look like your health is suffering, the way your cells are changed because of chemical interference is something that hasn't been tested sufficiently. Big businesses don't care about our health - they care about the fact that we, as consumers, have a need. If they claim to have a product that will satisfy that need, then they will make money. Consumer health is nothing compared to a paycheck! So if you care about your health, the environment, and your budget, switching to green cleaning products is the choice for you! Using this book, learn all the best ways to clean your house the right way, instead of putting yourself at risk with a chemical cocktail you may never recover from. Let's get started! |

| friendly guide to all things diy: The First Rule of Punk Celia C. Pérez, 2018-07-17 A 2018 Pura Belpré Author Honor Book The First Rule of Punk is a wry and heartfelt exploration of friendship, finding your place, and learning to rock out like no one’s watching. There are no shortcuts to surviving your first day at a new school—you can’t fix it with duct tape like you would your Chuck Taylors. On Day One, twelve-year-old Malú (María Luisa, if you want to annoy her) inadvertently upsets Posada Middle School’s queen bee, violates the school’s dress code with her punk rock look, and disappoints her college-professor mom in the process. Her dad, who now lives a thousand miles away, says things will get better as long as she remembers the first rule of punk: be yourself. The real Malú loves rock music, skateboarding, zines, and Soyrizo (hold the cilantro, please). And when she assembles a group of like-minded misfits at school and starts a band, Malú finally begins to feel at home. She'll do anything to preserve this, which includes standing up to an anti-punk school administration to fight for her right to express herself! Black and white illustrations and collage art by award-winning author Celia C. Pérez are featured throughout. Malú rocks! —Victoria Jamieson, author and illustrator of the New York Times bestselling and Newbery Honor-winning Roller Girl |

| friendly guide to all things diy: DIY City Hank Dittmar, 2020-06-02 Some utopian plans have shaped our cities —from England’s New Towns and Garden Cities to the Haussmann plan for Paris and the L’Enfant plan for Washington, DC. But these grand plans are the exception, and seldom turn out as envisioned by the utopian planner. Inviting city neighborhoods are more often works of improvisation on a small scale. This type of bottom-up development gives cities both their character and the ability to respond to sudden change. Hank Dittmar, urban planner, friend of artists and creatives, sometime rancher, “high priest of town planning” to the Prince of Wales, believed in letting small things happen. Dittmar concluded that big plans were often the problem. Looking at the global cities of the world, he saw a crisis of success, with gentrification and global capital driving up home prices in some cities, while others decayed for lack of investment. In DIY City, Dittmar explains why individual initiative, small-scale business, and small development matter, using lively stories from his own experience and examples from recent history, such as the revival of Camden Lock in London and the nascent rebirth of Detroit. DIY City, Dittmar’s last original work, captures the lessons he learned throughout the course of his varied career—from transit-oriented development to Lean Urbanism—that can be replicated to create cities where people can flourish. DIY City is a timely response to the challenges many cities face today, with a short supply of affordable housing, continued gentrification, and offshore investment. Dittmar’s answer to this crisis is to make Do-It-Yourself the norm rather than the exception by removing the barriers to small-scale building and local business. The message of DIY City can offer hope to anyone who cares about cities. |
