In many countries, retrieval of usable #materials from #WasteStreams is an entire #livelihood for people in #underemployed communities. All recovery of materials is work, and deserves dignity. #recycling #circulareconomy #inclusion #zerowaste #industrialecology #destigmatize #work #dignity #reuse

I have an open calendar at work and today I had #therapy, so therefore had "Do Not Book - Therapy" on my calendar. I am not embarrassed to be working through my #medical #trauma and #anxiety, and it's not something I hide from my colleagues.
