cwicseolfor (has moved!)#eufficiency project - I hate dripping faucets during freezes, but houses here often route plumbing along exterior walls with shockingly little insulation, so it's not optional. At least collecting the water for later dishwashing takes some of the sting out of it.
@exador23 Instant follow, because this is a major mental preoccupation of mine. I have used a tag elsewhere for #ThereIsNoSuchPlaceAsAway and sought long for a term to represent the answer to this, to which a friend suggested #eufficiency - I desperately wanted to give this idea a label as I think it’s important that we go beyond what we are opposed to (waste) into describing what we’re for. #NatureDoesNotWaste and neither need we, with sufficient planning!

Same as above, don’t suppose the thesis exists online somewhere? Such a virtuous cycle, that #eufficiency - human joy and empowerment produced, material value and resources conserved.

@forteller Jeg søkte lenge etter et ord (først på engelsk, deretter på hvilket som helst språk) for slik sparsom bruk av ressurser og i fjor ei vennine dukket opp #eufficiency - men siden da har jeg sett #multisolving også. Har norsk noe slikt ord?
(Beklager for mine uungåelige grammatikkfeil...)
SarahVBased on a #solarpunk discussion with friends, I am proposing #eufficiency as a term for getting everything you can out of something, optimising every efficiency so that nothing goes to waste, in a way that feels good. Example: making pasta, then taking the hot water and setting it in the cupboard with rising dough, and then depositing the water on the garden. A philosophical counterpoint to waste-not-want-not, where the motivation isn't scarcity.
