  1. #Australia - #ToySwaps!

    Toy Swaps are happening across Australia in all year round​

    - Melbourne
    - Perth
    - Sydney
    - Wollongong

    "Toy Swap Australia is an initiative by the Joy of Giving Network, created to spark a movement around swapping. It's about rethinking how we utilise resources like toys, fostering community connections, and minimising our impact on the planet.

    ​Toy Swap brings families and children together to exchange preloved toys, share stories, and enjoy the joy of giving. Each swap is more than just fun — it helps keep toys out of landfill, saves resources, and teaches kids the value of reuse and caring for the environment.

    Everyone can be part of it. Whether you're a school, local council, community group, or a parent who wants to make a difference, you can host your own Toy Swap. We’re here to help with ideas, tools, and support.

    Join the Toy Swap movement and help build a future where sharing is normal, waste is reduced, and every toy gets a second life."

  2. Well, I just emailed our Town Manager with information about discount #RainBarrel and #Composter programs. I know one of our neighbors (who is on the Selectboard) had mentioned how composters cut down on the amount of garbage, and how many folks have home gardens and could benefit from both rainbarrels and composters! Local #SolarPunk vibes!

  3. I didn’t ask for this catalogue.
    I didn’t subscribe to it.
    I even tried to unsubscribe - more than once.

    Most of us just drop it straight into recycling, and then forget about it.

    Let’s stop normalizing silent waste.

  4. #MaineDEP says expansion of state’s largest landfill would benefit public

    The decision allows the state to apply to add 61 acres to the state-owned #JuniperRidgeLandfill, which takes in 52% of the state's waste.

    by Penelope Overton
    October 2, 2024

    "Despite objections from neighbors and environmental groups, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection concluded Wednesday that expanding the state’s largest landfill, Juniper Ridge, would substantially benefit the public.
    It’s not an outright approval, but the department’s decision allows the state to apply to add 61 acres to the state-owned Juniper Ridge Landfill, which takes in 52% of the state’s waste. The state claims this expansion would extend the facility’s operating life by 11 years; without it, it would run out of space by 2028.

    "DEP Commissioner Melanie Loyzim’s decision can be appealed to the Board of Environmental Protection and the Maine courts, and several opponents of the proposed expansion, like the Boston-based #ConservationLawFoundation , say they are prepared to challenge the decision.

    "'This decision recklessly gambles with public health and the environment,' said #AlexandraStPierre, the director of communities and toxics in the foundation’s #EnvironmentalJustice Program. 'It dismisses the serious concerns raised by the #PenobscotNation and other nearby residents about the harmful effects this expansion will have on their health and community.'

    "She continued: 'We refuse to allow this dangerous expansion to proceed unchecked.'

    "The foundation and other opponents say the #OldTown location of the facility unfairly places the burden of the state’s trash needs on the Penobscot Nation. The #leachate that #JuniperRidge produces when it rains is sent to a nearby paper mill sewer plant that discharges into the #PenobscotRiver.

    [...]

    "The amount of waste heading to Maine landfills has increased 34% between 2018 and 2022, according to DEP. #Sludge that was once spread on #agricultural fields is now landfilled due to forever chemical #contamination [#PFAS]. The amount of municipal solid waste landfilled during that time jumped 47%.

    "While some people say Maine is not doing enough to divert waste from the #landfills – for example, a bill that would have required large #FoodWaste generators to #recycle their #scraps at a nearby facility died on the appropriations table – others object to #Casella as the facility operator.

    "Casella clashed with some municipal leaders and state lawmakers when it refused to accept the #biosolids created by wastewater treatment plants at Juniper Ridge out of fear that the mushy slop, or sludge, was causing structural instability that could lead to the landfill’s collapse."

  9. 🌍 Nature’s joke:
    -Why don’t planets talk to us?
    -Because we’ve been littering even in space! 🚀 😞

    Thinking about moving to Mars?

    Maybe it’s easier to just stop turning Earth into a trash heap.
