La Masse Critique Toulon Jun 9, 2024

Nouveau défi : au lieu d'imprimer des nouveaux, revaloriser les autocollants de la #MasseCritique qui datent de plus que 10 ans et dont les lettres ont blanchis. Ils restent un peu partout à #Toulon. 😁

The person that worked at our local dump got tired of seeing so many usable items being thrown into the dump that could have been used by others. She was lucky enough to have an old out-building that she turned into a free shop for people to give those items another life. Now if you have stuff you no longer want/use you can take it there. If you see something there you can use or repurpose, you take it, for free. #ReduceReuseRecyle

FIRST PERSON | I worked Saturdays at the dump because I'm fascinated by what people throw out | CBC News

Meg Whitton took a part-time job at a local dump in her county to see what people chose to throw out, what it says about consumerism and how people attach meaning to possessions.

So this pretty depressing article: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/12/half-a-billion-cheap-electrical-items-go-to-uk-landfills-in-a-year-research-finds

Has at least linked me to this pretty impressive website: https://www.recycleyourelectricals.org.uk/

I'm lucky to live quite close to my local tip, but for those who don't it looks like shops like Curry's and B&Q now do an impressive amount of electrical recycling too. Take a look at what's near you!

We still have, as a species, an annoying 'out of sight, out of mind' mindset. We need to realise our bins aren't magic!

@computersandblues Legislation & regulation to make e-waste incentivizing business practices will have to be part of it. Companies won't stop doing that shit without being forced to.

@pluralistic

Regarding efficiency per watt though, I think we'll see purpose-specific & semi-analog accelerator hardware make a come-back more generally.

As for data centers, disposable servers must be stopped.
