What do you do with an old copper bowl that has a hole in it? Some people might fix the hole.
Or, you can make the hole bigger and turn it into a small sink.
At the aviation recycling centre at Kemble Airfield Airbus A319-112 named Artisides Sousa De Mendes awaits the final process in the Repurpose, Reuse and Recycle.
At the end of an airliners lifecycle they dont just get left to rot.
All reuseable parts are either removed for reuse in other airliners, or rempved and repurposed in a multitude of ways, then the remainer is recycled in an envirenmentally manner, nothing escapes the process.
She was retired and stored at Kemble by TAP in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Built in 1900 by the Chicago & Alton Railroad, the Jacksonville Station was near the midway point on the C&A's Chicago to Kansas City Route. A sign still hanging over the former station gives the distance to Chicago as being 216 miles, and to Kansas City as 273 miles.
Renovated in 1987, the structure is now an Italian restaurant.
This is the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge located in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Many years ago it was repurposed from a Rail Bridge to a walking bridge. In order to visit a family member, we drove from Digby, N.S. to Fredericton N.B.. We had reserved the 4:30pm Ferry but at 3:pm, we received an email stating the Ferry had been cancelled, and in fact never left Fredericton. Bastards!
We kept our cool and decided to make the 6.5 hour drive. We did however, enjoy the scenery along the way. My compliments to those responsible for designing the highway system in Nova Scotia. Other Provinces could learn from those engineers, and how to move traffic both effectively and quickly.
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Afrikaanderbuurt, Tweebosbuurt, Demolition, Reuse, Trailer, Crane, Workers (uncut)
This is for the for now the last one of the Tweebosbuurt mini-series. It shows that modern demolition nowadays can be relatively resource-friendly. When possible metal is salvaged from the rubble. And bricks too. After removal of the cement traces, they’re reusable for renovation and new constructions – they’re often used for their rustic appearance.
NS diesel locomotive 2483 approaches Mijdrecht from the direction Wilnis with a long train. Unfortunately, this is not commercial transport: the wagons are being stripped of their superstructures by demolition company Koek, after which the chassis will be reused in the construction of new freight wagons. 1981.
Seems right to put this out early for Earth Day 2018, with the lime light very much on cutting down the amount of plastic waste spilling into our fragile environment.

Psalm 68:5 NIV A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.
So very thankful for my Father Who art in heaven. Hallelujah!
My earthly father was pretty awful ...
The pretty little village of Wiveton is situated in the north of Norfolk, southwest of Cley-next-the-Sea. The parish has a long history and was established by the time of the Norman Conquest. It is detailed in the Domesday Book of 1086. As is the case with so many English villages the church is now the oldest building remaining.
The Church of St Mary has a 14th century tower and chancel, but pieces of reused stonework suggest an earlier church existed. The nave, aisles and porches date to the mid to late 15th century, and further restorations were carried out during the 17th to 19th centuries.

Everyday I remove the card from my camera and dump the photos on my computer, then put the card back into the camera for next day. So far just once did I pull out the camera to get the red flash of no card. The reusable card is also on my faux Autumn leaf that gets used each year for accent on mantel.

As individuals we need to stop using plastic that is single use, and manufacturers must stop producing the vast majority of it.
ANSH 123 (6) planet first for earth day
It takes nearly one hour of walking to reach this wreckage of a DC-3 at the black beach of Sólheimasandur. However, for a special wedding photo, this effort seems to be acceptable.
I am constantly amazed by the clever ways creators can take odd bits & pieces and create a wonderful new piece of art!

The "Temple of Janus" is a cultic structure of Romano-Celtic design located in Autun, Saône-et-Loire, France, to the North-West of the ancient city of Augustodunum.
The temple lies in the centre of a vast sanctuary, whose extent and complexity was revealed by excavations conducted from 2013 to 2016, on a site whose history goes back to Neolithic times, and which experienced an important phase of monumental constructions in the 1st Century AD. The temple was abandoned at the onset of the Early Middle Ages, and its structures were later reused in the fashioning of a Medieval defensive work. The temple has retained two sides of its square cella, at a height of over 20 metres, as well as vestiges of its ambulatory and side structure foundations. The temple's supposed dedication to the Roman god Janus is not based on any archaeological or historic fact, and the deity that was venerated in the temple is unknown.
The Temple of Janus was included on the first list of protected historical French monuments, established in 1840. (Wikipedia)

Algae Jet Fuel at the Scottsdale Airpark
Due to the great climate and weather, Scottsdale is a popular golf and resort/spa destination for businessmen and tourists from the United States and the world. Tourism is a vital part of Scottsdale’s economy, bringing in a combined revenue of 6.7 billion dollars per year. Scottsdale’s future depends on the health of this industry! However, rising oil prices caused by a “Peak Oil” scenario will make fuel expensive – raising the cost to visit Scottsdale. With 200,000 operations per year, Scottsdale airport is one of the busiest single runway airports in the nation bringing in both high-end tourists and businessmen. Rethinking fuel is necessary to ensure Scottsdale’s economy-algae provides a solution.
Algae is not only a solution to the fuel problem; it has many environmental benefits. Algae needs water, nutrients, CO2 and sunlight (photons). Algae thrives upon greywater; filtering and cleaning it for reuse. Algae systems will thrive in Scottsdale due to its 325 days of sunshine per year.
Arizona State University recognizes algae’s potential to solve the fuel issue. As a growing research institute, ASU has partnered with British Petroleum and Science Foundation Arizona to develop a source for the production of biodiesel. Researchers at ASU are part of a team led by Honeywell to find alternative sources of oil. ASU has a research park in Scottsdale near the airport, this park is empty now, and can be used to develop research on algae biofuel. The city can partner with Honeywell and ASU guide the airpark into the next generation.
Scottsdale’s airport uses 10 million gallons of fuel per year. At $5.75 per gallon the yearly cost of fuel is $57.5 million - this number will increase in the future. The current price of refined algae fuel is $1.70 per gallon resulting in a yearly cost of $17 million per year. Switching to algae-based jet fuel would save the airport $40.5 million per year. The switch would not require the jet engine or any infrastructure to be altered – algae based fuel has the same molecular structure as fossil fuels. Flights completed by Air New Zealand, Continental and Virgin Atlantic Airways have already used algae-based fuels in successful flights. Algae may gradually replace existing fuel.
To provide fuel supply for the airport, algae must be mass-produced in a factory – the “bio-factory.” The factory house “Vertigro” algae systems in climate-controlled areas, each producing 33,000 – 48,000 gallons of algae oil per acre per year. The initial cost of a bio-factory is $175 million. Without additional funding this factory will pay for itself in less than five years with savings of $40.5 million per year under present fuel costs which will surely rise, creating even more savings.
This factory will not pollute and clean pollution on public lands, sequestering CO2 in the algae and cleaning the wastewater of Scottsdale. The bio-factory serves a double function. During the day, it shelters algae in a controlled climate and at night it fosters the arts community of Scottsdale that relies upon high-end tourism. Factory buildings at night are art galleries, spaces where the community gathers to celebrate the arts industry. The factory site is a place for Scottsdale’s community identity “Live, Work, Play.”
This project provides a solution to the peak-oil scenario for the Scottsdale community, addressing the critical system of the airport. By keeping the airport an economically viable means of transportation, Scottsdale may thrive economically, allowing Scottsdale to continue to enjoy “Live, Work, Play” while using its revenue to continue to transform the community towards sustainability and regeneration.
