Dust Makers: people, machines, attitudes, evidence.

Who are we when the stakes are our survival, and the change makers might be us?

Short stories about sustainability, caring for the environment and the legacy we leave.

 

Dust Makers is a collection about our impact on the world around us. With a focus on simple sustainability, care for the environment and for each other, these stories consider the impact we have on the spaces we live in and the legacy we leave for the future. We want it to be about our consideration of what is around us and what we leave for the future. We want the stories to be contemporary, historical or futuristic with consideration of the impact we make on our environment and on one another.
