This is a great method for off-the-grid low-tech clothes washing or, in my case, diaper washing as part of the Second Annual Flats and Handwashing Challenge.
The total cost to make this washer was around $6, and about 10 minutes. The amount of time it takes to operate depends entirely on the quantity of clothing and the type of material being washed. Denim, for example, will take more effort than t-shirts.

I’m a believer in the power of enacting small changes to make a big difference, so Energizer Canada’s new initiative “Do Something Little, Help Something Big” really resonates with me. Energizer Canada is pledging $100,000 to Evergreen, and encouraging Canadians to pledge their own positive acts. We can all do our part to make the world a kinder, happier, healthier, and greener place to live, but that doesn’t have to mean huge sacrifices on our part. Little things add up to big change, and starting small is much better than not starting at all.

13 months. Obi is 13 mos old now. Where has the time gone? He’s still my “dainty” baby — clocking in at 40th percentile for weight, and the 75th for height and head. He’s running, climbing, had a wicked sense of humor and loveloveloves playing with other kids. No sooner did he chunk up, then he started to slim down again. He likes to climb onto the couch, then scale the back and turn on his father’s computer speakers and listen/dance/sing to whatever comes blaring out of the speakers. “Mama”, “up”, “Pop pop”, and “cat” are the words he uses most. He has 13 teeth to go with his 13 months.
Where has the time gone?
