This article about focuses more than I've heard from other people about a shorter work week and more leisure time. That might be part of it, but I think a bigger focus is on , , , , and getting pleasure from things that don't need to be freshly made or cost bucks. And more than anything, it requires decoupling progress from gnp.

Finally introducing myself!

I'm Saffron, a member of a plural system (@cobalt on here is one of my headmates). I love ! I'm a product knitter (I focus on the end result more than the act of knitting), and I have a passion for things that would otherwise be thrown away, like plastic bags and holey old t-shirts.

I'm excited to see everyone's photos of their projects, and to share my own! Here's a scarf I'm currently working on.

Interesting read looking at recycling and the knee jerk reactions to e waste and it’s importance to economies in poorer countries. If we applied a similar approach to clothing, I wouldn’t have had clothes to wear as a kid. I still get the majority of my clothes from op shops beyond the ones I make myself and buy new like underwear.

Heat exchangers are very exciting. This article looks at a swedish company who install a heat exchanger in a restaurant which captures the waste heat from cooking and uses it to drop their heating bills by 90% a year and its carbon footprint by 30 tonnes!

Plastic waste is being cleaned from a beach in Skye. Some of the waste will be transformed into plant pots.

Disposal of child car safety seats is an environmental nightmare in South Australia.

Any seat that's been in a car involved in even a minor collision has to be discarded, and it's not recommended that seats be used more than ten years., so there's no secondhand market for used seats.

Only the hard plastic core can be recycled. Fabric and padding can't be recycled, nor can polystyrene.

Generally recycling services charge $5- 10 to take them so it's no surprise that the number going to landfill is massive.

The perpetual churning out of new models means not even the fabric covers can be re_used.

Measures to be taken:

1. Require frames and fabric covers to be sold separately.

2. Regulate for seats to be inspected after car collisions and approved if still safe to use.

3. Seats older than 10 years - same as 2.

4. Offer a reward for whoever invents a way to recycle styrenes.

@9to5Mac not sure what the fuss is about. They didn't say if shoes were unfit for purpose. I'd argue that turning perfectly usable product into a tarmac is waste, while it for it's original purpose is highest form of .

Having a surreal moment - sewing curtains that I last sewed 31 years ago when I was just about to give birth to my daughter!! I loved them then and they're still perfect despite their age. It's a pity stuff these days doesn't last like this 😔

Again, some see 'post.news' or 'locals.com', we just see Amazon.

Anything like that is a block from us. The need to be fought off.

Readers may find our recent idea about 'invasion' stories somewhat important:

This is your yearly reminder that empty chocolate trays make great temporary/disposable paint palettes! I especially like Toffifee trays for this. (They're also so tasty, goodness 🤤)
