Glühbirnenhersteller gründeten vor 100 Jahren in Genf ein Kartell und beschlossen, die Lebensdauer ihrer Produkte zu begrenzen. Das Phänomen beschäftigt die Politik bis heute.

Exhaustive 2020 article showing myriad ways to protect yourself from tear gas. Seems difficult to combine goggles with masks since they both want access to the bridge of your nose. Worth noting that your exhale is not masked, so some add pieces of respirator masks, to protect others.

A reminder. Recycling should be what we do when we’ve tried all these other options. #ClimateAction #Reduce #ReUse #Recycle #Climate
Waste not want not... In case you were wondering what I do with my mis-prints and failures, I mostly keep them for use in other projects. A small sheet of aluminum can be surprisingly useful, and is seldom wasted. #recycle #reuse #waste #makersHour #making

Inspection de la carte mère de la télévision récupérée à la déchèterie l'autre jour : je pense avoir trouvé deux emplacements avec des potentiels port série, et un potentiel emplacement de port RJ45... À explorer.
We are back to usual shopping hours. Lots of free food items left behind by students. Microwaves $5 ea. Bike sale coming up Sat, May 31! #MNastadon #Thrifting #Reuse #DeGrowth #Sustainability
Well, crap. Reuse/repair isn't always easy. My digital tire pressure gauge died, and I replaced the 4 internal batteries. Fine, it works now and I didn't have to contribute it to the landfill. But the 4 batteries cost $23, and I could buy a whole new unit (including batteries) for $8. Oh, well.

Lundi, la déchèterie près de chez moi était fermée, je passe par hasard en vélo devant et devant la grille y a une grosse télé. Hop, sous le bras (c'est lourd mais c'est pas loin) et je repart avec.
Évidemment, elle marche (bon y a probablement des problèmes hein, j'ai pas encore pris le temps de tester à fond). Je vais lui trouver un usage, récupérer des pièces ou au moins faire mumuse à la démonter.
Practising what I preach, vis-à-vis recycling, reuse, solarpunk, etc.
Used inner tube rubber from the bicycle shop across the road, plus some vulcanizing glue, means the soles of these trainers will last a little bit longer now.
I'd rather have used an old car tyre, but one hasn't materialised (ironic, usually they're everywhere).
@corbden My grandmother always re-used our flannel PJs and sheets for soft cleaning rags -- and we had handkerchiefs growing up (which she made and embroidered).
