MAKE YOURSELF |
There are always good reasons that lead us to do something. Making the decision to do it yourself means that we know why we do it. Some have already thought about it, others do not.
That's 6 reasons to help you make your choice and make the right decision. |

|
REASON 1: The Experience |
Many of us buy furniture kit. And we're all pretty much agree that the outcome is not sustainable ... So why continue to do so?
When you think about it, what have we bought? boards of sinter packed in cardboard. It is we who will look for it, unpack, assemble the, put it up ...
The only thing we have not done is the holes for assembly. Are we really unable to make holes? |
|

|
REASON 2: MATERIALS |
Every day we discover that the materials used by industry and mass consumption are not only highly polluting but dangerous to health.
And children's toys containing carcinogenic solvents, clothing toxins attacking the neurological system, etc, etc ...
"The Controllers of the ports are no longer allowed to enter the containers without assessing emissions of products." |
|

|
|
REASON 3: PRODUCTION |
We do not always know but most of these objects are performed by robots in factories or by a fully automated workforce underpaid, living in countries where costs are very low.
When we buy these products, we create little value, hardly any employment ... We buy in different stores but we pay the same financial group. |

|
REASON # 4: THE ENVIRONMENT |
The mode of production of these objects leads to overexploitation of natural resources and deforestation, contamination of soil and water, an expensive and pollutant transport, excessive use of energy that you are billed for purchase. All that to enrich only a few people ...
"The destruction of the environment leads to an impoverishment of the people who can use violence to survive." |

|
REASON 5: PURCHASING POWER |
It is often said that our grandparents lived better than us, but why? In fact the solution is simple: They bought only the essentials and were making all that could avoid buying.
Do it yourself can save up to 70% because we buy only the necessary resources: we do not pay intermediaries, storage, margins, transport, packaging, etc ... |
|
 |
|
REASON 6: THE NEEDS |
When we buy a product in store, we adapt our functional needs and aesthetic to the object that tempts us. It does not really either in size, style or office.
When you do it yourself, you know what you really need: the reason for this stand, how it will respond to the required dimensions, in which it will integrate design, ... |
|
 |
|
reason # 7: self-esteem |
Work area is somewhat instructive: Build a subject we built together. Do it yourself then brings a sense of well-being: personal pride to have to do something tangible.
And when you show or offer this item to others, will show you some of the admiration, recognition. Have you ever seen the pride of a child to be made by parents? ... |
