The PSU ReUse Room is a student volunteer-run store that facilitates the donation and distribution of used office and school supplies. Students, faculty, and staff come to the ReUse room for free binders, notebooks, folders, and other supplies, helping to reduce waste while also helping cash-strapped students save money.
Looking towards the entrance of the Temple of Amun, you can see that blocks of stone have been reused in the wall on the right.

Circl, a new circular building in Amsterdam’s Zuidas district, was opened in September 2017. Circl is an initiative of ABN AMRO. The bank plans to share the knowledge of circularity that it acquired while developing and constructing this circular building and to use this knowledge to advise clients. In the circular economy, materials are reused and virtually no waste is created. The design stage takes into account assembly in construction and deconstruction after use. Almost all of the materials used in creating Circl are second-hand, easily disassembled and able to be reused. ABN AMRO collected 16,000 pairs of old jeans from its employees which were incorporated into the ceiling and serve as insulation material. The window frames in the conference rooms were carefully removed from demolished office buildings. The furniture in Circl was previously used, and restored. There are 500 solar panels on the roof, and the building uses direct current (DC) instead of alternating current (AC) to minimise loss of energy resulting from conversion.
Circular use and sustainability
Besides conference rooms, Circl also has a restaurant, a rooftop bar and an exhibition space – all of which are open to the public. Circl’s circularity goes beyond the building itself. Circl employees wear uniforms produced from recycled plastic bottles, and the catering services employ people with occupational disabilities. The venue will host lectures and meetings focusing on social and economic issues, including new possibilities and solutions relating to the circular economy. ABN AMRO is fully committed to making the homes and offices that it finances in the Netherlands more sustainable and wants to improve the energy efficiency of its entire real estate portfolio to an average of label A by 2030. By implementing circular earning models and facilitating this transition, we aim to make a bigger contribution to creating a sustainable society.”
First fully circular economy
The Dutch government wants the Dutch economy to run completely on reusable raw materials by 2050. This will be a long and challenging process, but ABN AMRO is confident that the Netherlands will become the world’s first fully circular economy. An interim goal is a 50% reduction in the use of primary raw materials by 2030. It will be quite a challenge to maintain the volume of construction while reducing the use of primary construction materials by 30 million tonnes between now and 2030. All of the construction waste – from brick to grit – will have to serve as circular input. It is crucial that the government, business and consumers join forces to achieve this goal. The construction and real estate industry is a raw materials and energy intensive sector. These two things make a difference in improving sustainability. Reusing or upcycling of waste, increasing biomass applications and circular construction all help to reduce carbon emissions and make less intensive use of scarce raw materials. In building Circl, ABN AMRO experienced first-hand what opportunities exist, the creativity and solutions that are already present and where the challenges lies.
I took this of my Disney Tinkerbell reusable bag. I leave these in my car for my trips to the grocery store.
I cannot help myself. Here’s a story about records, books, postage, recycling and reuse.
This box started out life containing 16 copies of Patrick O’Farrell’s paperback book with ISBN 0-86840-635-X, sent from the University of New South Wales Press (printed on the box). It must have been sent to Readings bookshop in Carlton, who reused it to send something to Dr Phillip Law (1912-2010) at his home in Canterbury (address label on the bottom of the box, unfortunately Post Paid Australia with no postmark). Dr Law used it to store excess publications about Antarctica (inscribed on the box in his own hand). On the death of Dr Law in 2010, the box ended up with us, the eScholarship Research Centre, who have been working with Dr Law on his papers since the mid 1980s. We have the final material from Dr Law now processed and boxed in special National Library of Australia boxes, ready for transfer to their custody.
Looking up the book in the National Library of Australia’s Trove catalogue and checking the ISBNs of the different editions reveals that this box originally held the third edition of The Irish in Australia, published in 2000.
I needed a box to send 18 copies of a book we have just published (November 2011), Founders, Firsts and Feminists: Women Leaders in Twentieth-century Australia, to a conference being held in Canberra next week. This box did the job nicely!
Environmental activists hold a road block and street party in Kingsland High Street, North London, to raise awareness of the need for action on climate change and to leaflet the area on forthcoming events.
After half an hour shooting the protest I completely forgot I was in the middle of a usually very busy road, with the organisers from Extinction Rebellion ensuring there were enough activities to keep everyone - young and old - informed, entertained and even fed with free food.

Fashioning Cascadia: May 09, 2014 – October 11, 2014
Curated by: Sarah Margolis-Pineo
Presenting Sponsor: Pendleton Woolen Mills
How does fashion and clothing engage craft, technically, materially, and conceptually in the design, production, circulation, use, and reuse of garments? Here, clothing is defined as the objects produced—the physical garments, whereas fashion is viewed as the cultural zeitgeist that fashion embodies: an ever-changing identity for the current moment. Leveraging craft as a framework, Fashioning Cascadia collapses clothing and fashion, bringing together the tangible utility of clothing with the creativity and cultural import of fashion in the Cascadian region.
This exhibition will ask: What is being made here and why? How does the fashion industry shape the regional identity of the Pacific Northwest? How/why are we known as a locality innovates through research and technology as well as handcraft, finding new models of production and consumption that reframe behavior patterns to be positioned for a more sustainable future?
This exhibition, firstly, unpacks the craft of the designer’s studio through the exhibition of work by regional clothiers including those involved in all aspects of the design and production, as well as those forging new production models based on locally-sourced and produced supply chains. In particular, this portion of the exhibition will honor the Fibershed ideology laid out by Rebecca Burgess that emphasizes regional and slow fiber systems similar to those that have been embraced in the culinary field.
Secondly, this exhibition will explore the craft of use, or the circulation, modification, and social meaning that becomes embedded in garments. This portion of the exhibition will emphasize the use of heirloom narrative and re-skilling as a way to examine individual behavior and breakdown prevailing attitudes towards clothing as a disposable commodity.

Recent find. Almost dumpster diving. Someone put this out on their curb for the scrap metal recyclers -- looks like it was only used once - almost brand new. So I replaced my existing smoker (similar model, but about 16 years old and used so much it was rusting out), and left my own -- bought for $5 from a neighbor at a garage sale long ago -- out on the curb for the next guy.
Deployable Ku-band Earth Terminals (DKETs) were designed to support larger hub locations for long-haul transport in and out of theater. Each retrograded and reused DKET could save more than $1 million, which includes refurbishing costs. (U.S. Army photo)
Alta Lofts is the adaptive reuse of a 1920s-era former paint factory in a transitional neighborhood east of downtown Los Angeles. In my opinion the architects and designers did a bang-up job here.

This building is now the Dixon Entrance Maritime Museum in Masset. It had originally been built as the town hospital, but enjoyed various leases of life as a school and as a lodging house for teachers. We were meandering around Masset to kill the one and only wet day we had. Like many Masset enterprises, the museum seemed to operate on its own private schedule. In this case only 1pm to 5pm. The museum held several whaling and fishing artefacts, but being originally from the UK, it was hard to get excited by things that were only a hundred years old or so. The real prize was a collection of photographs documenting several archaeological digs, petroglyphs and the like, documenting the pre-contact history.
Don't get me wrong - it's a treasure trove of local artefacts and has items from the war as well as photos of a building being floated up to become the local general store.
The store keeper was praised highly by his contemporaries, not least for extending credit to the many seasonal workers who still needed food and supplies even when their work was stopped for the season. He was quoted as saying that there were no more honest people than the Haida. "It may take a while, but they always pay their debts".

I love how my Mom reuses things to make garden stuff. This is a dustpan she made out of a broken handle and old tin cracker box.
Here's a close up of the bottom part.
