8/52 - Recycled
Out today with ianbartlett for a 12 mile circular walk along the River Ouse from Southease to Lewes and back. We had a lovely rainy day, but still nice to be outside in the fresh air :)
A kind soul has made this bench out of bits of wood washed up along the river, and held together with bits of rope and metal stakes.
In 2007, I visited a couple of houses made entirely out of recycled materials. They were produced as part of a Japanese TV series, whose main character dislikes the concept of throwing something away and therefore builds houses out of trash. The first picture I posted over a year ago has been quite popular, so I decided to show you some more exciting examples of recycling houses.

I'm going to stand right up and say it: People who don't recycle are selfish assholes. It's true. Throwing away a recyclable is lazy, inconsiderate, and rude. Most people don't know this, but every time they toss a can of soda can, newspaper or latte cup into the garbage, they appeal plummets instantly. These naive Thrashers don't realize how unbecoming they've just become. You could have Brad Pitt in a tux beside a "Free Neck Rubs" sign, but if he throws a water bottle in the trash can? Gross.
The good news is, the trashy-effect is completely reversible. Here's the secret: if it's recyclable, recycle it. Visualize yourself doing it right now... You have an empty bottle in your hand. You see before you a garbage can on the left, a recycle bin on the right. You have a decision to make. It's simple: choose the recycle bin. See your arm moving towards it now, your hand slowly releasing the bottle into that beautiful, glorious bin. Bam! You just saved the earth, my friend. Instant sex appeal. You're looking hot. Smoking hot. You better cool down, we've already got a global warming problem here.
See how easy that was? Trash can or recycle bin... The effort is equal; the choice is easy. Choose to recycle. Choose to be sexy, classy, and bold. Every time you recycle you become instantly more attractive, well-received and adored. You'll be setting an example for everyone around you. You're smart, and it shows. Your actions are contagious.
You - yes you - can save the earth. Welcome to the team, Captain Recycle. The cape looks good on you.

I found this little motorcycle in a local shop. It is made up of recycled scrap. It made the perfect gift for a friend in Canada.
People roam the streets of Istanbul calling for any recyclables. I believe those with carts tend to accept metal or old electronics. There are others with large bags on wheels which dig out cardboard and paper from the trash receptacles.

I feel like I'm the only one who takes advantage of these cartridge return envelopes. After a brief, informal poll of the office, that seems to be the case.
Ink cartridge manufacturers like HP include small, pre-paid postage envelopes in the packaging for new cartridges. Instead of tossing the empty container in the trash and eventually a landfill they're reused and/or recycled.
It only takes a moment to open the envelope, re-package it, and mail the old cartridge. "Small changes add up to a big difference."
