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.

"Bursdagen inneholder derimot ikke 20 små plastleker som alle er verdt under femtilappen. Barna savner ikke gavene, da de ikke er vant til noe annet, og foreldrene er glade for å slippe gavestresset."

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.
Meet the second-hand personal shoppers thrifting so you don’t have to 😉

My family really likes to reuse things, so we are giving new life to these ~10 year old outdoor chairs by painting them and sewing new fabric seats. We thought the yellow was nice and bright 🌞 <3
Beats the landfill any day! (Although we would have taken the frames to metal recycling)

#Europe should cap ‘luxury’ #EnergyUse to meet #EmissionsTargets, study says

While this is admirable. Please keep in minds the problem with plastics will continue because its manufactured. Getting rid of plastic cups, straws and bags is so you ignore the that the grocery store, the drugstores are filled with plastic. Single use plastics is just scratching the surface of the bigger problem.

After the Trauma of my monitor failing and I fixed that. My attention turned to the #washingmachine (Its bearing failed this weekend) I discovered companies (e.g BEKO) weld the #tubassembly together. Years ago the tub was bolted together & sealed with a gasket. Our tub is welded, So, I looked into the scandal of modern washing machines, and how the #EU who rightly demand #righttorepair, #reduce #ewaste ignore washing machines that could easily be repaired IF companies were less greedy and lazy

Why are cars/suvs/pickups still getting larger? They remind me of the Pleistocene Megafauna, and should (like the Megafauna) be extinct. We need to #Downsize, #Reduce usage of raw materials and #ConserveEnergy, and #AbandonCarCulture.

There was a company in #Utah that rebuilt and serviced obsolete #Apple #Lisa #computers and #AAPL used hired goons repossess them and took them to a dump and destroyed them. https://youtu.be/rZjbNWgsDt8 @theverge
I'm embarrassed to have EVER given money to $AAPL!
