Of what value is my service?

Earth Liberation Service is offered to individual Patrons who could benefit from help with Home Fix-its, Signs & Custom Artwork, Health and Wellbeing Support and Food Forest Materials.

ELS (Earth Liberation Service) is operated by myself (Craig Subra).

I have over 30 years experience in creative solutions and custom projects that range from Airbrush art to Woodworking crafts. I may have much confidence in the Creative Arts as well as Home Fix-it projects. Each project is unique and all skills and techniques are shared along the way. I offer free consultations and extended support afterwards.

As a business owner, I offer Skill-Sharing and Peer Support in the areas of; Home Fix-its & Eco-Projects, Signs & Art of Cultured Messaging, Food Forest Materials & Nutrition, Health & Wellbeing (peer) Support. Pay what you can.

Of what Value is ELS to you? Skill-sharing is integral to partnering with ELS. Compared to "turn-key" projects (where the patron simply hands over money in exchange for services), "Skill-sharing" is a process in which the the patron can decide how much knowledge of each project is shared along the way. Some patrons may want a room painted in their home, or an appliance repaired, but also have the desire to learn how to DIY it themselves too. ELS encourages participation such as this. With 30 years of DIY experience, ELS approaches each project as an opportunity to share knowledge, tips and tricks to maintain your home and landscape projects yourself. ELS can also share the process with someone of your chosen, so that you have a personal connection with a "skill-sharer" of your choice. ELS takes the time to do this because of a perceived opinion that people are losing many skills and knowledge through the adoption of technology and other distractions. The loss of these skills and knowledge are best retained by one-to-one interactions. A type of mentorship, on a project-by-project basis and with the intent of building direct and sustainable community practices that take our reliance off of predatory, capitalistic practices and gift them to the individual themself.

My Personal Business Ethics: I acknowledge our Earths current Poly-crisis. As a for-profit business, I respect the foundations of our Economy. However, I reject the current form that is Capitalism and its purely extractive methods. I offer as an alternative, my services that put the Wellbeing of our planet and its people over Profit. Each project is Open-source and Egalitarian to the degree the participant decides. All power should go to all the people and planet first.

I designed my logo with open-source software, instead of proprietary ones. I write this blog-site on a platform that I researched to be the most ethical (or least bad) available. I work with waste and water services to ensure that any spoils of a project do not pollute the planet. The money I earn/spend goes back into circulation supporting cooperatives, unions, public services as well as progressive social and environmental causes. ELS operates as mindful and ethical as a small business could in todays Economy. I hope that when we speak about your project, you would ask for my humility when you see areas that I can improve. I will listen. We can always do better. We would be partners in your project and the value you receive afterwards is something measured and shared with Local, State and Federal entities to influence policies in the name of a Wellbeing Economy. Its the hope that through this effort, we both improve our society through which our Economy is driven by. Not an Economy that is fueled by only the blood of society.

Money is a tool. It is not what I wish for (but it is required of the project). I am asking for participation in generating progress toward an economy that puts the planet and its people first. The trust I ask for, is that I see the power in collective, egalitarian action in an open-source society. And I will use and share every resource bestowed to progress a Wellbeing Economy in the ways that we feel work.
