+## Find solutions from the community in how-tos
 
-![Open Source](assets/Intro/opensource.svg)
+This is knowledge shared by the community. 
+A How-to is a tool for people to share files, documents and guides on how they use their creativity to make plastic precious. Learn how people around the world create machines, moulds, make products, collect plastic and more. 
 
-## But wait - why did you do this?
+With more than X* How-tos already open-sourced on our platform, there's plenty to explore. 
 
-At Precious Plastic we want to show the world the incredible opportunities of plastic waste in order to eliminate plastic pollution, reducing the demand for new virgin plastic and closing its materials loop while creating better livelihoods for people around the world. Precious Plastic is, above all, a cultural tool to change the way society perceives plastic.
+If you have a unique solution, make sure to share it so more people can learn from you and work together to fix the plastic waste problem.
 
-All plastic laying around you is a resource, not waste. It is a material with great potential, laying all around the world that, if processed correctly, can become something new and valuable. This resource can become a source of income or an educational tool for your community, while making sure it doesn’t enter our environment.
+[Visit How-tos](https://community.preciousplastic.com/how-to)
 
-<img style="padding: 50px 0" src="./assets/Intro/PP_universe.svg" width="500px"/>
 
-We have created machines, documentation, video tutorials, campaigns and a platform to empower people across the planet to start working with plastic waste locally while trying to decentralise and localise plastic recycling technologies, infrastructures and knowledge by providing open-source designs for machines, moulds and consumer products, as well as business models and tools for you to set up and run a recycling workspace.
