"Most Australians consider themselves “DIYers”, with the trip to the hardware
store a regular feature of weekends in many households.
About 57% say they are happy to get on the tools for home and garden repairs
and improvements, according to one survey. But “do it yourself” culture comes
at an environmental cost, whether it’s the noise and air pollution from
petrol-powered mowers and blowers, or the cost and waste of tools and hardware
bought new and only used once."
