What is urbanHANDmades all about?
~Revive Repurpose Reimagine~

I am an artist, clinical analytics nurse, and environmental advocate who worries about the future of our precious planet. The current climate crisis affects us all, and I believe each of us has an individual responsibility to create change for a cleaner and healthier world.
The purpose of this website is very simple…
to give you ideas on how you can create change to protect our planet from further catastrophe by implementing small incremental positive actions in your daily lives.
We focus on Revive Repurpose Reimagine of textiles. Nevertheless, the idea can be applied to any material or object considered waste or unusable in its current form. When we do this, we commit ourselves to being more thoughtful in what we purchase and what we dispose of in landfills. As a result, we think more creatively and act with purpose.
Many experts say corporations and big businesses need to lead the way. They argue that the small actions of individuals are inconsequential and that change is insurmountable. This is true to some degree, but we must try.
We do not sell physical products at this time. We share ideas on how you can implement sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in your everyday lives. In return, you can support us by making a donation, subscribing, and commenting.
