This dolphin sculpture is made from recycled trash found along the beaches and shorelines in the surrounding area. It is part of an exhibit commissioned by the Texas State Aquarium from local artists and groups to highlight the problem of litter, especially on the very busy beaches. To us it is just an eyesore, to sealife it can be life ending.

These CD's I have recycled from the library when they were cleared out last year. Now they are adorning my Nashi Pear tree trying to deter the parrots from eating the almost ripe fruit. As they blow in the wind and reflect the sun at odd times perhaps the movement is scary.
Left over materials used for patchwork. It's not finished yet.
Each flower is sewn by hand so it takes some time to do.
For Smile on Saturday - recycling

My collection of plastic bags that I keep for reuse in the plastic dispenser from Ikea. For Macro Mondays 'Plastic' theme.
So I was out running errands and spotted this! If I was a true recycler, I would have scooped it up to reuse- right?
Well in this instance , recycling !! Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 04/01/25 -- Seasonal !!
So here we are with a random shot of a recycling bin left out for the dustman after the Christmas festivities and obviously a seasonal bi-product is the amount of rubbish and recycling that is generated by many - next week it will be proper rubbish to be collected and I wonder how full to overflowing the black bins will be . I am glad to say as a rule my green bin is usually full but not overflowing and the black bin is usually no more than two thirds full or less . I did note this year that most folk left their bins out on the usual day only for it not to be collected !! There is always an alteration to collection times this time of the year so that the bin men get time off for the bank holidays !!
So for our music this week , it has to be a track from an album called " Recycler " !
First the electric version , then the wooden version from the film and then ZZ Top talking about playing on the film !!

Not great ideas for Smiling on Saturday, just a modest pot-holder made by me recycling an old shirt of my husband, an easy work thanks to the chequered design ;-)

Recycling is really developed in Germany, almost every type of bottle and container can be recycled and there is a very good system for doing so. Here is a view into a recycling machine which recycles cola, beer and milk bottles and credits back the Pfand (or deposit) to the consumer. You slide the bottle on the conveyor belt, then the belt catches the bottle and spins it while a blue laser light (which is on in this picture) flashes and reads the UPC code. That way it knows the proper amount of the Pfand and also the brand name of the soda or beer the bottle belongs to. Then the bottle slides further along the belt where it is sorted and at the end, the consumer is given a voucher for all the deposits which they can then trade in for cash.

This Eastern Great Egret took quite a long time to choose the right piece of material from a long abandoned Great Black Cormorant's nest. It was carefully checking and pulling on several branches, before finally flying away with the best one.

Happy Bench Monday...
on average 8 million tones of plastic finds it's way into the ocean each year and it never goes away, it breaks down eventually, but even then the pellets that it becomes is in turn eaten by the marine life. We need to do more than recycle, we need to stop using plastic containers and being a throw away society.
Give it some thought, don't put your lunch in a baggie, put it in a glass container. Bring a thermos of water, not a bottle, and buy beer in bottles, not cans.... :-) (due to the plastic thingy that binds them)
dashing to work now, blow it up and check out the beautiful and awful mural.

Een behoorlijk oud en fors stenen graf in Oud Eik en Duinen, wordt bijna overgenomen door de natuurl. En zo hoort het ook.
The other area where we are recording sounds is Sanaullah Compound, closer to Mahim railway station, where many kinds of recycling units are stacked against each other. Here, the shredding of plastic, the burning of aluminium furnaces and the sacks of scrap being thrown down from trucks are frequently heard. The screeching sounds from rusty shredding machines make one wonder how the labourers can work without the use of earplugs. For these labourers, most of whom are migrants, Sanaullah is work and home. A little shack of a restaurant, paan kiosks, barbers, an ironing man, chai stalls and various other essentials of daily living function side by side. Against this background, the aural predominance is of men talking business (or gossiping) over phones or with each other. Understandably, they don’t want their conversations recorded.
Walking around trying to be inconspicuous with a recorder in our hands, we realised that some sounds are bound to perish with time and modern lifestyles, such as the sounds of game machines in a very 90s video parlour or the bell of a kulfi seller. Collecting these sounds could be a way of creating an aural museum and complementing visual archives of Dharavi.

Egg carton detail for the Smile on Saturday group, challenge: Recycled.
An egg carton can be made of various materials such as recycled newspaper and molded recycled paper pulp by means of a mechanized papier-mâché molding process.
Separate bins for three streams of recycling waste at the Chowrasta Market in Georgetown, Penang.
Looking at the clean white paint of the wall behind, and contrasting that to the ubiquituous mouldy walls elsewhere, I surmised that this paint must be mould-proof.

Ever wonder what happens to your recycling? Well, we found out and now you know. Michigan charges a deposit on all pop cans, so they don't end up in these bundles. I wish other states would initiate deposits on pop cans. Our states would be a lot cleaner.
While waiting for some work to be done on my Jeep, I asked the owner of the shop if I could wander around and capture a few photons. He said "go ahead". So I did.
Here's a bunch of old parts waiting to be picked up for recycling. Mostly disc rotors, but a few other pieces thrown in just give it a mix.
