Found 3 large flower pots in the recycling room of our apartment complex.

I don't need them right now. But I can't see them go to waste.

Das #VerbrennerAus scheint in der #Seeschifffahrt schon durch zu sein.
Und dass, wo #Schifffahrt ohnehin bereits diejenige #Transportform ist, die am wenigsten #Emissionen verursacht ...

Welches #4R-Verhalten könnte noch mehr #Impact erzielen?

Die Meyer Werft hat angekündigt, das größte rein elektrische Kreuzfahrtschiff der Welt bauen zu wollen. Seine Batterien hätten mehr als die doppelt so viel Kapazität wie der größte stationäre Stromspeicher in Deutschland.

It was a banner #TreasureHuntTuesday for bits and bobs. Found a metal plumbing hose to repair my outdoor sink, another Keurig cup drawer that's perfect for holding all my rivets, a roll of upholstery fabric to recover my sofa, a paper towel dispenser for my studio, an extension for my desk, a hanging rack for more books and other handy stuff galore. #reuse #repair #recycle
Metro Vancouver apartment dwellers don't recycle as much as single-family residents. What can be done?
Metro Vancouver residents living in single-family homes are twice as likely to recycle and compost as their apartment-dwelling counterparts. The regional district wants to encourage multi-family residents to divert more of their waste.

Here's yet another tech repurposing/recycling post!  

This USB SD card reader was DIY'd from a component I found in a trashed laptop someone had discarded and left on the side of a bin!

The laptop's SD reader daughterboard was really just an USB device connected to one of the motherboard's internal USB ports via a ribbon cable. So, after figuring out which pin is which, desoldering that ribbon cable and replacing it with a regular USB one, as one would expect, effectively turned it into an external SD card reader

At that point all I had to do was to find a case for it: I don't have a 3D printer, but trimming the board slightly and removing the plastic stands made it fit perfectly into this SD card holder, which does the job and is rather small all things considered!

(And yes, the irony of using an SD card holder as its case isn't lost on me!  )

Slapped a rubber grommet in there, tightened a bit, and voila! We’ve got a makeshift (non-leaking) recycled birdbath!
