A crash course in changing the world.
I stumbled on this through my RSS feed to MAKE magazine: http://www.oswash.org/ . It's a collaborative effort to produce low-tech washing machines for various types of needs. Washing machines were one of the big time savers in American history, as well as ovens and microwaves and other appliances. It's part of why women and African-Americans were able to make such strides in civil rights: the labor cost that fueled the unequal social construct went way down. If this project is able to help people supply themselves with washing machines, that begets other infrastructure, as it were.
