There are many old ways to do things without many resources, no plastics, and little, if any, use of fossil fuels. The knowledge of these old ways is slowly disappearing because it is not passed on to new generations. We want to make sure the knowledge is not lost. Here we collect information on how people did everyday things before industrial mass products often made with large amounts of plastics took over. We make sure, this information is available when the current mass production is not longer functioning and people need to go back to the old ways to get their daily things done.

If you know of old ways to do everyday things you should join us in our effort to ensure this knowledge is not lost.

[May. 09, 2026] Doomsday Clock is Getting Closer to Midnight: In January, the Doomsday clock was set to 85 seconds before midnight, the closest setting since it was established in 1947 in response to the threat of nuclear war. Sophie McBain in her article “‘The odds are not in our favour’: who sets the Doomsday Clock – and what can they tell us about the future of humanity?” emphasizes that with the wars on Iran and on the Ukraine, the rapid and largely uncontrolled development of AI and the climate breakdown all together increasing the likelihood of a nuclear war, the clock now stands closer to midnight than ever before. She asks the question of whether we can buy ourselves more time.
