  1. I composted in the city (Allston-Brighton area -- where we had a small backyard and garden area). It can be done in the cities, and worm-composters can be kept under the sink... But for the faint of heart, many places are now offering #GarbageToGarden services, or collection areas near community gardens...!

    #Massachusetts Ask Your Municipality About a Low-Cost Compost Bin

    "Many towns and cities use MassDEP grant funds to buy compost bins directly from manufacturers, then sell them to residents at a discount.

    "To learn if the community where you live has compost bins for sale, see the List of Massachusetts Compost Bin Distribution Programs in Additional Resources [at the original link].

    "The bins most commonly available are: #EarthMachine (with room for 10 cubic feet of material) and #NewAgeComposter (with a capacity of 24 cubic feet).

    "Both units are easy to assemble, resist rodents, and break down organic materials well. At least half of the plastic that goes into them comes from products that consumers have used and recycled previously."

  6. Why not make devices that have replaceable and/or interchangeable parts? Keep the original case and just replace parts as needed!

    Electronic devices 'need to use recycled plastic'

    14th October 2019
    By Mark Kinver
    Environment reporter

    "Plastic in waste #electronics is an #environmental time bomb that has been overlooked, say campaigners.

    "Plastic accounts for about 20% of the 50 million tonnes of e-waste produced each year, which is expected to more than double to 110m tonnes by 2050.

    "A UN-supported campaign is calling on consumers to favour #ElectronicDevices that use recovered plastic.

    "The #PolyCE campaign, funded by the European Commission, also calls on manufacturers to use less plastic."
