Geplante Obsoleszenz ⁉️🔥

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

I just noticed a neighbour in our area has a python in their front lawn.

This is the only planter I have ever bought in a garden center (small, local). They had to know it would come in contact with water. Oh, well. It's nothing an aluminum can can't fix. #recycle #restore #repurpose #maker

Everything you can now #Recycle with #CrispPackets in North Somerset https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/somerset-news/everything-you-can-now-recycle-10250622
#BigBadger1 is shocked. 'What do they do with the Crisp Packets? It's laminated plastic / metal. This is brilliant, but I need to know" TBF, we didn't know the answer either. Anyone?

I've upgraded the 2015 Macbook Air I use for managing synths that don't like Linux. to Sonoma using OpenCore. There's a little bit of reduced performance from Monterey but it's impressive that it can be done almost transparently, so it should be good for a bit longer. #MacOS #OpenCore #reduce #reuse #recycle

Decades ago, I made some tin-can mobiles that I painted with with copper and brass patina then decorated with teal, gold, and copper glass beads, cabochons, lace, gold and copper chains, and wire.

Today I drug them out of storage and hung them in my bathroom. They’re old and rusty now, which actually works better. I think they create a kind of retro-junk-Victorian vibe. And the teal patinas and decorative bits will go nicely with the browns, golds, and silvers of the fixtures.

Me likey!

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

#FunFactFriday: With e-waste piling up to 62 billion kilograms worldwide, scientists are taking a new approach to recyclable, healable electronics using vitrimer. Are you excited to see this hit the electronics circuit? News Source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/06/250602190434.htm

@mrmasterkeyboard #GlareScreen|s aside (which isn't your fault but #hp's) I'd say totally fine!

• If not yourself, someone else will happily find a use-case for a cheap yet useable #laptop to get something done.

#Ubuntu is a good choice as #Desktop #Linux #distro when you want to hand this to someone who may not be as "#TechLiterate" but then again the "full" install comes with #LibreOffice, #Thunderbird and #Firefox so all the #Normies' needs are fulfilled.

• If I only had like €/$ <100 and needed to get a laptop that works and didn't knew how to get something else (fixed) I'd propably buy it for that.

#Repair & #Reuse is always better than #Upcycle and espechally #Recycle, and getting a decent #OS on that machine and the screen fixed really made it useful...

🌍♻️ On #WorldEnvironmentDay, let’s turn waste into wonder!

This stunning parrot made entirely from bottle caps is a bold reminder: art can inspire action and trash can transform into treasure.

Small steps, big impact. 🌱

EV #battery recycler in #Ontario goes under because "the market can't sustain the industry without proper government regulation providing incentives and structure."

Recycling regulations needed. "EV batteries wear out over time, and with more than 600,000 EVs on the road in Canada, keeping those batteries out of landfills — and recovering the valuable critical minerals they contain — will be essential in the near future. But regulation around EV battery recycling is virtually nonexistent in Canada, and industry and policy experts say without it, we won't be ready when the waves of EV batteries hit the market." #recycle
