Today's my 16th Bikeaversiary and of course #BicycleDay - I didn't get to ride much this weekend, but I did get groceries & a #BuyNothing run on Sunstreaker plus outfitted Tracks with some adventuresome handlebars for higher speed outings.

What began as a St. Paul car dealership in the 1920s is being demolished for a new six-story development — but not before its useful parts are rescued for reuse. For weeks, salvagers, nonprofits and bargain hunters have picked over the building and still, it’s full of treasures. Especially for an entrepreneur about to open a small restaurant. https://www.startribune.com/meet-the-salvagers-saving-a-piece-of-grand-avenue-history-from-the-landfill/601663506?utm_source=gift

Garden gold: how to give common household waste new life as back yard essentials

From egg cartons to hard rubbish, everyday consumables can be repurposed into valuable gardening resources

by Connie Cao, Fri 10 Apr 2026

Excerpt: "Teresa Day, masterclass coordinator at #SustainableGardeningAustralia, says we need to stop using the word 'waste' and start using the word 'material'. She suggests reframing the idea of waste and considering: 'What am I going to do with this material, what can it be used for next?'

"The benefits of #repurposing or #rehoming materials extends further than just reducing landfill. Longtime gardener Olwyn Smiley runs a #permaculture garden consultation business and has found plenty of gems both kerbside and in local #BuyNothing groups.

"As Day’s late grandmother used to say, 'waste isn’t waste until you waste it'. There are numerous ways to turn common household waste into valuable resources for the garden."

#Seattle folks:
I'm moving out soon, and looking to give away a bed and a couch to somebody/ies who can come pick them up the week of April 6. What are the generally accepted hashtags for #BuyNothing sorts of deals?

@Cykelsok Das könnte eine effiziente Art sein, den #LKW- und privaten
#Paket-Zustell-#Verkehr zu reduzieren. Ich kenne das auch aus südeuropäischen Ländern wie #Griechenland, dass man verpackte Waren an den Ticketbüros der Überlandbusse abgeben kann, die diese dann (im regulären Gepäckabteil unter der Personen-Ebene) über ihr Netz transportieren. Ein bisschen wie der (zeitlich unschlagbare) IC-#Kurier-Dienst der #DieBahn! (https://www.bahn.de/angebot/zusatzticket/ic_kurier), der mAn zu wenig ausgespielt wird.
