Do it yourself: What a combo of words! In Spanish: "hazlo tu mismo". Remember self is the only thing we are, now.
The seed was planted soon after moving from San Salvador, El Salvador to San Francisco: when I fell in love with riding bicycles again, the kid inside me was liberated from buses, cars & walking. Before then I didn't have in my head, "you can go work riding your bicycle".
It took another 3-4 years for me to finally say "I can make my own tooth paste"
This is the moment of no return:
Late at night in the bathroom I noticed toothpaste was almost 86ed and I quickly thought: "I'm making toothpaste and I'm reusing this plastic tub".
