Today's #crochet project is this bag. It's made from leftover yarn from a blanket I made.

Tomorrow I'll be making the strap for it. I'm going to use it to keep my clothes pegs in, as the last one I made (from left over material from curtains I'd adapted when we moved house) about 20 years ago is finally falling to pieces.

St. George is betting big on a plan to hold onto more of its #sewage by cleaning it, building a new reservoir to store it and then reusing it to irrigate the region’s farms, parks and lawns. #water #wastewater #reclamation #recycle https://www.kuer.org/health-science-environment/2023-09-04/recycled-sewage-could-stretch-st-georges-water-if-it-has-a-place-to-store-it

Ein gutes Beispiel für "Es gibt kein richtiges Leben im Falschen": Seit dem #Fairphone 4 hat Ihr Unternehmen den Produktzyklus auf zwei Jahre verkürzt. Das ist zwar immer noch länger als bei anderen #Smartphone-Herstellern üblich, aber eine Verkürzung des Produktzyklus widerspricht irgendwo dem Nachhaltigkeitsgedanken. #repair #recycle https://www.heise.de/news/Neuer-Fairphone-CEO-im-Interview-Wollen-500-000-Smartphones-verkaufen-9292879.html

Breaking apart pallets is exhausting but it’s very rewarding to have a good stockpile. #recycle #upcycle

Danish artist and climate activist Thomas Dambo spent his summer in the US creating gigantic troll-like creatures across the country out of recycled materials. Five are in Western Washington where he worked with Indigenous tribes and artist John Halliday to make sure his work respected their traditions.

I'm glad I buy most of my clothes second hand

If every adult in UK bought half their next wardrobe second hand it could prevent 12.5 billion kilos of carbon dioxide emissions entering the atmosphere

Anssi Mikola perusti aikanaan Megaklinikka-hammaslääkäriaseman ja nauroi, että näin sitä laivanrakennusinssi sekaantuu terveydenhuoltoon. Nyt ennakkoluuloton mies on lanseerannut #Riverrecycle -yrityksen, jonka tavoitteena on poistaa valtaosa maailman jokiin päässeestä muoviroskasta. Nostan hattua.

Had an idea for an app last night after shopping at #reclaimit. Help me name it!

You can register as a regular producer of any particular kind of trash; pringle cans or kitty litter jugs for example.

Then people who need those can find you, and arrange pickup of a certain number of those items from you.

It would also be place to find #reuse #repurpose and #recycle ideas!

Maybe something like it already exists? #lazyweb

Why do we put up with paying prices for parts much higher than the original part produced by the same company when assembling the machine/device? It doesn’t cost them more to make. If anything, replacement parts should be cheaper to make it easier and more affordable for us all to be greener by repairing and re-using instead of dumping. #Reduce #Reuse #Recycle in that order.

@3dprinting

I just found an easy way to find places that accept PLA #3dprinting filament for composting! The compony is called TerraCycle and they #recycle many materials that traditional recycling services can’t.

If you know of a maker space with printers (or if you print a lot and want to recycle) they can also buy these recycling boxes where you collect a variety of the 13 supported plastic types and you send the box in with a pre paid shipping label to be recycled!

#climatechange is putting much of our #food supply at risk, yet #politicians still think they can put off action(s).

The #climatecrisis is real but while we think there's some (near) future technical fix, or that somehow it'll all be alright if we just #recycle a bit more, the coming sudden climate tipping point is going to be a major problem for human civilisation.

Each year the price of inaction grows, and a 'proportionate' response belittle actual Govt. actions!

We're so f**ked!
