Green Maker Initiative | Resources
All of our Green Maker Initiative resources are completely free to use. It is our aim to encourage all makers to reduce the environmental impact of their making practices and help make all craft sustainable.
The Green Maker Initiative is in its infancy but as it grows and develops, so will this bank of resources. Make sure you check back in on this page regularly as we continue to add new content.
