When McLaughlin died this Spring, the folks at the social design collective Project M, (who we covered in the GOOD 100 issue) set up a new project in his honor called 100 Hammers. They collected 100 second-hand hammers and are sending them out to anyone who requests one. The only stipulation? You have to use it for a creative project, share the results online, and return the hammer into circulation in a month.
In the end, the 100 Hammers website will display a collection of art made with these shared tools, a tribute to McLaughlin's commitment to creativity and reuse.
