As I've suggested in the followers-only toots above, there's a lot of room for richer discourse on meat consumption if we consider what an appropriate middle-ground would look like.

Next I'm going to move on to explore middle-ground ideas on #circularity applied to older electronics, #retrotech, and energy consumption.

As usual, boosts of public posts are welcome. If you follow me to view the rest of this thread, please DM me to let me know you have done so.

We are hosting a #RepairCafe on saturday June 24. Bring all your broken items along to our free event!

Don't throw it away, get it repaired at our community event 💪🏻

It was our 50th virtual coffee hour for sustainability stay-at-homes this morning. Chat included:

* reuse or sharing of items in transient communities like students & ex-pats;

* models people are using to guide their work, including donut economics;

* upsides, downsides & explosive disruption which AI might bring.

Join us at future virtual coffee hours, 22nd June, 27 July. Login details https://bit.ly/2UeGiDV #sustainability #virtualcoffee #circularity

In #Switzerland, the @EPFL_en spin-off @CompPairTech has developed smart and #sustainable composite materials, which are able to repair themselves and be better recycled, bringing #circularity to the composites industry. ♻️

#circularity #Groningen #repaircafe

Lovely to see @shonamcintosh and great to see innovation and growth in the #CircularEconomy at Hamilton Waste in Musselburgh this morning. More and more materials going for reuse and recycling and fewer to landfill. #circularity #circulareconomy #recycle #recycling #zerowaste

1. Vodafone will mit dem 'One for One' Programm mindestens 1,000,000 Smartphones pro Jahr im Kreislauf führen.

2. Das ist ein guter Start, aber im Vergleich zur Anzahl verkaufter Smartphones viel zu wenig. In 2022 wurden 1,2 Milliarden Smartphones weltweit verkauft.

3. Wir brauchen mehr Anbieter die Lösungen für Smartphones in der Kreislaufwirtschaft anbieten und dabei höhere Stückzahlen anstreben.

///Imperfect diagram of circularity///
An interesting circularity diagram missing at least 4 components
Refuse (no raw material needed), reduce (eco-design), repare ( and reuse (partially or totally like reuse, but from waste). And also the step of conception...
Do you see any other things missing? Let's make a better diagram ;)

Anyone know anything about the #Schoonschip floating neighborhood #community in #Amsterdam? https://schoonschipamsterdam.org/en/. The community was mentioned in a NYTimes article about recycling office buildings in Amsterdam (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/06/headway/office-tower-carbon-emissions-amsterdam.html). Example of principles put into practice on a local community level. Curious what else is out there about the community. Is it a viable model (and for whom), etc.? #circularity #sustainability #housing #construction_practices

This is your regularly scheduled reminder that everything that has metal in it, and especially iron & copper, needs to be designed for ease of separation at end of life to allow high quality recycling, which is much less energy and GHG intense than primary sources. #circularity

On the way to the #allelectricsociety we need to be aware that all of the great technology will come with infrastructure. It needs to be designed for the circular economy from the outset. If not, we will create e-waste like hell.
