The Art of Making Do: Resourcefulness Rediscovered
This episode examines the creative solutions and forgotten skills that emerge when buying new items is no longer an option. We follow participants as they learn to repair clothes, repurpose household items, and develop sharing networks within their communities. Through interviews with urban homesteader Lisa Chen and repair café founder Mark Williams, we explore how the challenge forced participants to reconnect with practical skills that were common just a generation ago. The episode highlights both the frustrations and unexpected joys of finding alternatives to purchasing.
