Reuse It!
View allAll Photos Tagged Reusable
More and more automakers are using recycled plastics (from bottles, caps, containers, and other plastic packaging we use every day) and plant-derived polymers for an increasing number of automobile parts and components in almost every car today.
Daimler AG, a German multinational automotive corporation integrates recycled and renewable plastics into their cars.
Daimler: The choice of material is determined by technical and quality requirements of the part, depending on where it will be used. Therefore, we use high quality recycled material that originated from production waste for the majority of parts. Furthermore, we are always searching for new application possibilities.
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.

Love the guys hat in this previously unpublished shot from February 2018 - No. 4201 uploaded to my 'Black and White Streets' album. Enjoy!
Please accept my apologies for the quality of this image. It leaves a lot to be desired. I am posting it simply for what it includes. We are standing on the highway overpass at the east end of Norfolk & Western’s yard in Crewe, VA on January 13, 1974. A yard job was switching with GP38AC No. 4137 and a GP9. With that established, let’s move from left to right.
In the upper left is a scrap yard operated by N&W. Retired cars were cut up and loaded into gondolas for shipment. Some equipment was reclaimed for reuse and shipped to other locations for reconditioning. The wooden cabooses above the 4137 were stored awaiting scrapping. They would be set off the track to the far left, torched, and the remains scrapped. The shack between the 4137 and the scrap yard was utilized by yard crews and car inspectors.
The east end of the yard can be seen above yard job. The left side was principally for eastbound traffic, the right side for westbound. Note the coal staged to go east. Almost all coal trains had to double their train together before departure.
The two tracks to the right of the yard job are the main line tracks. The shack in the center right is for the switch tenders. There weren’t any power switches. The switch tenders appeared to handle everything at the throat of the yard and on the mainline. The switch tender can the seen in the bottom center of the image. To say the job was physically demanding would be an understatement.
In the upper right is the engine terminal. One track was for the wreck train and three for the locomotives. At this time most trains swapped engines at Crewe.
View of Siena, by the South-East side, in which the back of Palazzo Pubblico, seat of the Municipality, is easily recognizable. In the skyline stand out the Torre del Mangia, the only remaining tall tower view from the side of the Chiesa di Sant'Agostino, where the back of the Palazzo Pubblico, seat of the Municipality, is visible. The Torre del Mangia stands out alone in the skyline as more than 100 others have been partially or totally dismantled over the centuries, both due to stability problems - particularly after the 1798 earthquake - and to reuse the stones, as well as a changed urban planning vision of the city.
for "Looking close... on Friday!" theme: reusable or recycled
plastic pots can be used multiple times for planting/repotting flowers, they are durable and easy to use, maybe not very pretty but as an insert for a ceramic pot they are perfect
A fence I used once before. I use it again to christen a new lens, and because the fence pickings ain't so good in our neighborhood. Is anyone running fence tours?
HFF to all: Looking forward to seeing everyone's handiwork.
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.
Beautifully shaped jam jars are saved and reused for homemade jam or jelly.

just because it isn't 'new' doesn't mean it hasn't got some use-- right??

My DD was painting outside and used a plastic mini quiches container as a mixing pallet. It was left outside and various bugs wandered in and got stuck. The orange paint pot was the most popular…..
Anyhow I used my cloning skills in the app Retouch and made it prettier!! Will put the buggy original in the first comment box in a bit
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.

Because I freeze half a loaf, these bags are certainly reusable.
PS: Other bread brands are available.
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.
at the street arts festival in worcester on sunday (9/25/16), some of the vendors/artists had unique sorts of things for sale. this artist, melissa calling her work anxietiart, makes people and animals from "found" items-- reduce reuse recycle
you can see some of her other things here:
I was pleased to find that the Northern Flickers were going to reuse the nest they built last year. They appear to be more comfortable with my presence than last year, so I'm looking forward to getting some more fun photos here.
I'm fairly sure when I took this shot, the eggs were already laid, for after twenty minutes of quiet waiting, this male's head popped out and stayed out until the missus arrived. Then with a quiet chortle of greeting, they quickly swapped spots. The male flew out before the female landed under the nest.
When I checked on the nest yesterday, I was pleased to hear that the chicks had hatched. When a parent returned and entered the nest hole, the tiniest of chicks squeakings could be heard...begging for first dibs on feeding.
This will be my last upload for awhile...again..., as I'm behind on a great many things...including writing an article for a local magazine. More on that to come. So, until next time, enjoy your week/weekend and thank you so much for all your support, faves and comments. They are always appreciated!
