I love darning socks and mending! Especially mends that are beautiful enhancements to the garments! So many beautiful and inspiring photos on this thread.

If you are not looking for antibacterial though how about a jar with small squares of cloth covered in a lesser percentage of alcohol with some water? Pull out one at a time and hang to dry and wash them later.  I've always intended to do something like that to keep in the car.  A wide mouth quart would hold several.



Excellent Idea to use in the care!

I saw a you tube video yesterday on how to make a hand santizer with 70% or 90% isopropyl alcohol and aloe vera.  I'm going to give it a try. I've got aloe coming out of my ears! LOL.

Aloha,

I am hoping to get connected with any fellow Permies on Hawaii. Please post in this thread if you're located in Hawaii and what island you're on. We currently live on O'ahu.

I have found a permaculture site that is on Kauai that is an excellent resource for us in the islands or others in tropical regions.
Kauai Food Forest

Watching their You Tube videos has been very insightful. I believe they have volunteer days on Saturdays still. Rob Cruz is active on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/rob_cruz/.

Aloha from Hawaii!

This is my first post to Permies. I have enjoyed using a Lamy fountain pen with a refillable piston for several years now. I have a great love for paper and writing but really enjoy the environment aspect of owning a personal writing instrument that is not disposable. I have been using my same bottle of ink for going on three years now. I have a Lamy studio and Lamy all-star pen that I write with daily.

I am just starting down my permaculture journey. It seems that using refillable pens lessen our waste and therefore would be connected to the basic principles of permaculture. Would that be true in the simplest form?
