Spent a week disassembling some broken-down machinery abandoned on the farm. Took it to the scrap-metal #recycling place. They had warning notices all over about scrap-metal thieves. Sadly, no contact information for them.

Mein neues (gebrauchtes) Headset ist heute gekommen 😃 und es besteht zu 85% aus recyceltem Plastik ... ist das nicht cool?
Dann kommt das Thema #Recycling endlich auch in der IT und Gamingbranche mal an 💕

Projekt „HotCircularity“:
🚜 Welche Bioprozesse können spezielle Fette als Ersatzstoff für Kunststofffolien in der #Landwirtschaft kostengünstig und in ausreichender Menge produzieren, um #Mikroplastik im Boden zu vermeiden? 👇

Poll time!
This time I'm curious about your habits of removing the address sticker (with your name and address, and parcel tracking info on it) on shipping boxes before you throw them out.
Recycling means you throw it in the recycling bin instead of the trash. Select the one you do most often.

Interesting that this popped up in my tube feed, but CBC is providing content for National Thrift Store Day. Canada and U.S. have been dumping used clothing in other countries for decades, particularly Latin/South America and Africa. Rising logistics costs, and those countries fighting back against being our dumping ground, means more clothing going into our landfills.
