by in DIY, Home August 15, 2017

Today people do not even question the massive amounts of pharmaceuticals we consume. Not only that, but we forget entirely about natural remedies and life hacks.

Today has become so ‘easy’ in the modern day life that we have become a little spoiled, or privileged per-say. If we have any kind of issue there is someone in our face offering us a solution, and it usually consists of chemicals, pharmaceutical medications, or simple business schemes that bite us in the butt later on. Food these days causes health issues later on in life, cleaning products are toxic to breathe, and even our medicine is killing us. It is urgent for our society to resort back to natural remedies and life hacks – it’s crucial for our survival.

The New York Public Library has digitized these how to do it cards to remind us of these extremely practical tips. Anyone could benefit from using them!
