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.
A very pleasant wander over a chilly Ingleborough. One of those occasions where I smugly trot down the iced up paths in my microspikes. I'm definitely going to fall on my face next time aren't I?
Whenever we go grocery shopping, I find that I look at the packaging our food comes in as a possible photographic subject. One afternoon my husband came home with a large bag of tangerines. I enjoy that fruit, yet the bag holding the orange orbs made me especially happy.

Love the guys hat in this previously unpublished shot from February 2018 - No. 4201 uploaded to my 'Black and White Streets' album. Enjoy!
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.

My wonderful SIL created gift bags this year and mailed them early with requests to “open” them!! They are sewn from quilt squares and the back side is red felt— isn’t she clever? The next picture in the photostream shows some of the things that were in the bag!

Thank you for your comments and favourites.
Good news, my flare-up of severe Long Covid symptoms appears to have ended as suddenly as it started. Yesterday I actually felt 'normal' for the first time in just over two weeks. Just as the previous two occasions this has happened, the duration and severity of symptoms and the sudden onset and end are nearly identical. So bizarre. Hopefully it will be a few months before it happens again, like last time, though obviously I would prefer that it never happens at all.
Of course, the symptoms remain, but the difference in severity is enormous. I have to remember that while I 'feel' like I am back to normal, my normal now is not what it used to be and I have to be careful not to overdo it. I still have to micromanage my rest and recovery for everything that I do.
It's blissful not to feel and hear your own heart thumping irregularly and at just 30 beats per minute over and over again, non-stop, day after day. There must be a trigger to this repeating pattern of symptoms though. I just don't know what it is yet.
Take care everyone.

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.

Many, many thanks for all your views, faves and comments.
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.
The old Loggia Rucellai has been adapted with glass walls and is now an exhibition hall and shop for silver works by artists from Florence.
The loggia was built by Giovanni di Paolo Rucellai in the 1460s; it may have been designed by Leon Battista Alberti, but this attribution is disputed. Originally it was intended as a place for the Rucellai family to have weddings and other celebrations.
As individuals we need to stop using plastic that is single use, and manufacturers must stop producing the vast majority of it.

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.
First used as a campus museum.
The Nott Memorial is an elaborate 16-sided stone-masonry building which serves as both architectural and physical centerpiece of Union College in Schenectady, New York. Dedicated to Eliphalet Nott, president of Union for a remarkable sixty-two years (1804–1866), the 110-foot (34 m) high by 89-foot (27 m) wide structure is a National Historic Landmark.
Officially designated Nott Memorial Hall but referred to by generations of students and faculty simply as "The Nott" or "The Nipple" (sometimes "The Nipple of Knowledge"), the building's centrality and initial design trace back to Josef Ramee's 1813 conception of the school grounds, the first planned college campus in the United States.
The Memorial was designed by Edward Tuckerman Potter, architect of area churches and homes, alumnus of the college, and grandson of President Nott. Construction began in 1858 and was completed in 1879. The result is one of very few 16-sided buildings in the world.
For nearly a century the Nott was mostly open inside. In 1961 the college moved its bookstore into the basement and configured the first two floors into theater in the round. The upper floors were eventually closed off and fell into disrepair.
In 1993 the college began a complete renovation of the Nott, restoring it to its original design. The award-winning project was undertaken by noted Boston based architecture firm Finegold Alexander + Associates Inc and carried out by A.J. Martini, Inc., contractors.[3] The bookstore and theater were moved to other locations on the campus, and in 1995 the Nott reopened on the celebration of Union's 200th anniversary.
No throwaway plastic at this Healthy Deli. Discovered these reusable straws at my local health food store. Perfect replacement for single use plastic... and colorful too.
I am constantly amazed by the clever ways creators can take odd bits & pieces and create a wonderful new piece of art!

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.
U's (four & a half y-o) teacher was absent & NOT replaced so he stayed home with me. On this pic, he was doing the lacing cards I had made last year, re-using bits of cardboard, and pencils. (and a puncher, obviously !) (Jan. 26th 2009)

Some of you may be wondering why someone would go to all the trouble of creating this Facebook page and network of websites to tell you about water bottles. Here's your answer:
The world is deteriorating, as a result of decisions we have made. Every year, thousands of pounds of trash are deposited in landfills across the United States. However, because of recente advances in technology, more and more of this trash can be diverted away from landfills by simple consumer decisions. The short version: choices you make can save trash from landfills. People are always looking for simple ways they can help, ways they can be part of the movement. It doesn't always have to start with the government. The decisions that we make can add up to have huge impacts. Take water bottles for instance:
It's estimated that the average American drinks 167 bottles of bottled water each year. Simply by using a reUSeable water bottlé, you can help save these 167 bottles from going to the landfill.
So why the funky name? US is capitalized because this movement won't move without the cooperation of US - it's a communal movement. And why is it a water "bottlé"? Well, simply because bottlé is Swiss for "stylish metal container", and what doesn't sound cooler when it's in Swiss?
