The Swallowing Chair is not only gone from the den but gone from the property, never to haunt me again!
"But what are you going to sit in, Pecan? Did you get a new recliner?"
Nope. New furniture is mass manufactured garbage. Instead I have this almost antique beauty. It swivels. It reclines. It takes up less space. It's made of real leather. Look at those lines! It only cost me $25 for both pieces. Reuse is sustainable. #recycle #reuse #vintage #furniture #chair

All my projects are casted in reclaimed and recycled foam found in my neighborhood in Thailand. From discarded packaging to dumped ice boxes in nature, usable foam planks and blocs are cut. This helps cleaning up the environment and no new produced foam is necessary for my projects.
#Federal charges against key participants involved in #Oakland #Waste processing proposal at old #Army base not helping progress of project amidst detritus, disputes, bureaucratic bogus biz bs, and constant contractual crap
Essentially article reveals "#California Waste Solutions" is not necessarily providing solutions, but local govt is pretty good at waste?
While city and developer feud, both fail to follow thru and serve #WestOakland #Community, as residents, #ratepayers and #taxpayers suffer during decades delayed deferred dreams of improved #recycling facility that just seems to #recycle hopes and turn them into more cockroach attracting stink.

#TrumpLies: “You can’t take them down because the environmentalists don’t let you bury the blades.”
#FactCheck: #Wind turbine blades are designed for durability to withstand hurricane-force winds. However, the #US already has the ability to #recycle most #WindTurbine materials, acc/to the Dept of #Energy. It issued a report in Jan that found 90% of wind turbines can be recycled using existing infrastructure, while new strategies & innovative recycling methods will be needed to tackle the rest.

So, I caught a glimpse of #EcoMaine's new recycling facility, which has been completed. The new imaging technology will help separate recyclables even faster and more efficiently! Pretty cool stuff!
#Ecomaine plans $25 million #recycling center upgrade
#MainePublic | By Peter McGuire
Published September 9, 2024
"One of Maine’s largest recyclers is planning a multi-million dollar upgrade of its Portland plant in anticipation of handling more cardboard and other household waste.
"Ecomaine, a #CommunityOwned corporation, plans to spend up to $25.2 million on state-of-the-art sorting equipment at a new recycling plant near its Portland headquarters.
"CEO Kevin Roche said the new automated sorting machines use #ImagingTechnology to separate mixed recycling such as paper, cardboard, plastic, glass and aluminum.
"The equipment will replace the company's current machines, installed around 2006.
"Back then, newsprint made up most of the recycling ecomaine handled, according to Roche. With a boom in online shopping and home delivery, however, cardboard has become the top material it handles.
" 'Paper packing has really taken over the recycling bin, so we need a new design and plus the new system is nearly 20 years old,' Roche said.
"The market for recyclables has rebounded from a slump after China stopped accepting most U.S. solid waste about seven years ago.
"American companies retrofitted mills to process used cardboard into more packaging material, boosting domestic demand, Roche said.
"But local policy is also likely to increase the amount of material ecomaine handles, he added.
"Maine regulators are finalizing requirements that producers pay for the cost of disposing #packaging waste. The extended producer responsibility program would reimburse towns and cities for their recycling programs.
"With that policy in place, Roche said that more communities will likely expand programs or revive abandoned recycling rather than 'leave money on the table.'
" 'So that in concert with public outcry for more recycling and more recovery, those two things are going to go hand in hand and I think, expand recycling programs,' Roche said.
"The company hopes its expansion will allow it to add more member communities that own and send waste to the Portland facility.
"Ecomaine plans to borrow $35.5 million through a bond issue for the recycling upgrade and a landfill expansion. Adding more landfill space will give the company seven more years to store ash from its waste-to-energy [#WTE] plant, according to the company.
"The public corporation is owned by a collection of towns and cities in southern Maine. It serves about 73 communities statewide."

Any ideas for where to recycle old pillows and an old world-map globe? The pillows are stained and dirty and worn out - they're not fit for donation. But I hate to just chuck them in a landfill. The globe can be reused for crafts, apparently, but I don't want to reuse it - I want it out of my house. Waste Explorer just gives me blank looks when I ask about these items. #recycle #wastedisposal

#Introduction
I've been on Mastodon for quite some time now, but under another name. I started a new account because I decided to take a step back from world news, collapse, climate change, hunger, war, fascism and inequality.
In short less doom and gloom and a little bit of positive small scale projects that might also inspire or help others.
With this account I'll focus more on my day to day life, the things I do and make.
Of course I sometime still will post concerning subjects that provoke my rage or frustration. Sorry, it's not all moonshine and roses.
Having said that, I've a broad range of subjects that have my interest, so hopefully something useful will stick with you.
From my profile text:
#Collapse aware person, born @ 320 ppm CO2, world population 3.1 billion.
