This weeks sustainability contest is ‘Don’t Buy It’. The contest is pretty simple, don’t purchase something, this week we have a small twist - instead of buying it - MAKE IT or REPAIR IT. By doing this we can produce less waste. Perhaps it repairing a bike tyre instead of buying a new one. You could show us what you have made, even the steps and processes you went though or how you repaired something rather than throwing it in the trash.

I'm not sure if I will get to post on this or not this week, but I want to upvote 100% and resteem to get the word out because this is a great idea. I look forward to seeing the results! Thanks.
Thanks. This competition will come around again, fear not!
Even when I am for living sustainably, this sounds like a tough thing to do. But I'll really try :)
I'm glad it sounds tough. I like to make the contests worthwhile! It means we are all adding something valuable to the Steem platform.
Thanks for this great contest, here is my contribution 😄

Wow! Great effort. You also got it posted so quickly.
I am working on making myself an insulated curtain out of largely upcycled fabrics, but I don't know if I'll get it done that fast. 😁 I did finally sew the top section together last night, though!
