Trudged down to the recycle centre with the old duvet the doggo's been sleeping on, which was fairly manky. "Goes in your black [landfill] bin, love," they said. This seems like a pretty egregious source of pollution #duvet #recycle #landfill Is there no better plan? It's like the vapes all over the roads because there's no place to recycle them… @greenparty_ie

Dites masto, pour un vieux coucou en 32 bit. Intel Atom, ssd en mSata, ddr2 (oui bon...) Vous conseillé quoi comme distro légère ?
Pas pour aller sur le net, mais plus comme un terminal, prise de note, lecture pdf/ebook ?
Comme les dernières distro font l'impasse sur le 32 bit, je sais pas trop. Une ancienne distro #mxlinux ? Une #antixlinux ? Une #alpinelinux ? (Me proposez pas #raspbian). Je reste attaché à debian, apt et apt-get...

We experimented with hydroponic fodder farming using reused plastic waste, water, and grain — and these are the results after only a few days. Turning “trash” into food while reducing waste and saving space feels powerful.
Could small ideas like this help communities fight feed shortages and plastic pollution at the same time?

I found this light up sign for $2.10. I suspect it was cheap because something else was written on it and couldn't be easily removed but with the proper solvent and a lot of elbow grease I had it good as new. #renew #repurchase #recycle

#Maine will require battery makers to provide #recycling options
By Tina Fischer, April 9, 2026
"Gov. #JanetMills signed into law a measure that will offer more options to recycle both single-use #alkaline and #LithiumIon batteries in Maine.
"LD 474 updates the state’s current product stewardship laws to require national battery manufacturing companies to set up drop-off locations and fund a statewide take-back program so that all batteries can be safely disposed of and rare earth metals can be extracted for reuse.
"Eight other states have enacted similar laws.
"The state’s existing battery recovery program, enacted in 1991, covers only nickel-cadmium batteries. Many hardware stores, town offices and Staples stores in Maine accept some types of batteries for recycling. The nationwide Battery Network lists on its website drop-off locations in Maine.
"Improper disposal of lithium-ion batteries — commonly found in power tools, cell phone chargers and #vaping devices — has led to at least 24 fires at recycling facilities in Maine. Disposal concerns have driven up insurance rates for towns, according to the #MaineDEP.
"More than 820,000 pounds of batteries are thrown away in Maine every year, according to the Natural Resources Council of Maine [#NRCM].
" 'Holding corporate battery makers accountable for cleaning up waste will lower costs for Mainers and help curb demand for mining rare earth metals,' said Vanessa Berry, sustainable Maine program manager at the nonprofit.
"It is technically illegal in Maine to dispose of rechargeable, button cell, or lead-acid batteries in the regular trash."

Just returning from #volunteering at our local Repair Cafe. For $REASONS, they didn't have one in January or February, so I was kind of missing it.
Good turnout, though there weren't many who booked a slot in advance - just a lot of walk-ins. Everyone got seen. I worked on the usual small appliances, had a peek at a sewing machine, and oddly enough, a shoe/boot. Now I'm a cobbler, apparently?
Helping people feels good. Saving stuff from the landfill feels good. Saving money for people who can't really afford repairs and definitely can't just buy a new $SOMETHING feels good. If you enjoy fixing things - from sewing/garment repair to bicycles to computers to anything else - maybe look for a Repair Cafe in your city. I'm sure they'd love your help.
But I haven't been in the middle of that much people noise in months - maybe years. Decompressing...

Hey @gwilymgj are you writing in more detail about this project somewhere else i.e. a blog?
Or is what we see here what we get at the moment?
Or are you following someone else's instructions?I'm very interested in the process and the outcome, pretty sure others will be too.

Put on our big pants (and 1000v gloves) and took the old battery packs out today. Once we started not hard at all and not very scary (350v DC will kill). Now prepping the case lip for resealing. Next session will be putting the new battery packs in. Super fun 🤩 #Vivnes #NissanLeaf #Recycle #DIY

While out and about yesterday, I stopped at Aldi for essentials and picked up a pineapple while I was there. Then, at Goodwill, there was a pineapple corer/slicer, brand new, still wrapped, in the box. I figured this was a sign so I bought it.
It's hard to express just how handy that thing is. It stripped that fruit of its pineappley goodness in mere minutes. Totally worth the $3.20 US it cost me. #thrift #reuse #recycle #grateful #PineappleInTheDehydrator -

Here's an example of misuse of a finite resource by putting it in a #disposable product. It's a lollipop that plays music. This might give an hour of entertainment if that. Then it's straight in the bin.
That's more plastic and metal waste leaching into the #environment which needs to be put to better, longer-term use.

There's apparently not going to be a Repair Cafe in my town this month. I look forward to them, so this is a slight bummer.
To cheer myself up tonight, I spent half an hour replacing the corroded battery spring contacts in a $2 kitchen timer, and cleaned up some crappy wiring and soldering inside it while I was in there. Felt productive. Yes, I could have replaced it for $2 - but I like the feeling I get from keeping it out of the landfill and fulfilling a useful purpose.
Your city may have a Repair Cafe, too.

Learn the best way to handle it: 1) Sell it quickly for maximum return (especially if it's under 5 years old), 2) Donate it to extend its life, 3) Repurpose it as a Linux server, or 4) Recycle it responsibly. Remember: Always perform a secure data wipe before letting it go!

Are #MicroPlastics going to be to the modern age, what lead plumbing was to the Roman empire because of its #neurotoxicity? A more wide-spread and longer-lived version of lead additives in gasoline in the 80s-90s. Are we making ourselves more stupid by using/ingesting plastics and causing our own demise?

#Kerala fishermen up in arms against #DeepSeaMining proposal off #Kollam coast
March 22, 2025
"The fishermen in Kerala have already launched several protests against the proposed plan to open up the sea to private mining companies as part of the Union Government’s ‘Blue Economy’ initiative.
"All the fishermen’s associations stand united in their protests against this proposal, alleging that it would bring an end to the fisheries sector in the country, not only in the #ArabianSea but also in the #BayOfBengal.
“ 'The mining, according to the scientific report we have, can disturb the seabed and completely destroy fish spawning habitats. It can also release poisonous gases trapped on the #DeepSeaFloor, causing severe #environmental issues,' Kerala Minister for Fisheries, Saji Cherian, told PTI.
"He said that deep-sea mining requires huge investments and heavy machinery, meaning only #multinational #corporations will be involved, making these areas completely inaccessible to poor fishermen.
"The Kerala government, which is strongly opposing this project, passed a resolution in the Assembly urging the Centre to withdraw it.
"The Minister said the proposed site, off the Kollam shore in Kerala in the Arabian Sea, is very rich in marine resources and serves as a lifeline for fishermen from Kerala and other states.
“ 'We have a highly diverse and extensive fish population in this area. The mining will completely wipe out this habitat, severely affecting the livelihood of fishermen in our region,' Saji Cherian said."

Alliteration strikes again. I bet "Turn Trash Into Trees" ended up with tons of garbage in the bin. "Recyclables" is more specific.
Alas, alliteration ain't always awesome.
