Alderlea, meaning meadow of Alder trees, was constructed circa 1867 for Kenneth Chisholm, businessman, political figure and son-in-law of John Elliott, a founding father of Brampton.
Designed as an Italianate villa, Alderlea is one of Ontario’s finest examples of this architectural style. The original grandeur of the estate included a large front lawn and garden, which is now Gage Park, Brampton’s first municipal park.
Following the economic depression of the 1890s, the grounds of Alderlea and the adjacent Elliott estate were put up for sale. In 1944, the Royal Canadian Legion purchased Alderlea, which they expanded in 1947 with a two-storey addition called “Memorial Hall” to accommodate soldiers returning home from service in World War II. The City of Brampton purchased Alderlea as part of its sesquicentennial. The rejuvenation began in 2010, and involved selective demolition, heritage restoration, adaptive reuse, and a complementary
Some of the contents of a large plastic box in our kitchen drawer where we put our recyclable items such as plastic bottles, magazines, flyers, food tins and drink cans. When it's full I take it out to the garage & tip everything in a big wheelie bin. This gets collected by a private company fortnightly, the other week they take our actual rubbish (trash) away, thankfully we don't produce much of that so often that wheelie bin only goes out once a month. Glass has to be taken to a bottle bank. I use to take gardening & bird watching magazines to our GP surgery for others to read but those days are gone.
We compost all our newspapers, cardboard packaging/toilet rolls etc & I reuse suitable plastic food trays to stand plant pots in. All available windowsills currently have trays with small pots containing tomato/chilli/pepper/courgette & sweetcorn seedlings, waiting for the current cold snap to pass so I can plant them out in the polytunnel.

I've been saving all sorts of packing paper with the hope of coming up with an idea to use it all.
... laundry netbag and makeup remover pads.
The purpose - where I start -
is the idea of USE.
It is not recycling, it's REUSE.

WASHINGTON — The landmark 1899 post office tower on Pennsylvania Avenue — the second-tallest building in Washington — looked out of place in the Federal Triangle of neoclassical government buildings constructed mostly in the 1930s.
To complete the Triangle in an architecturally compatible style, the government wanted to tear it down, leaving only the building’s clock tower to rise above its replacement in homage to the Richardsonian Romanesque structure that would be no more.
The 1970 plan gave rise to Don’t Tear It Down, an organization (now the D.C. Preservation League) that successfully fought the demolition. Yet efforts to reuse the old building as offices for other federal agencies, with a ground-floor food court pavilion below the soaring nine-story atrium, also failed. The Old Post Office, a preservationist success, was a governmental flop, a federal white elephant saved from the wrecking ball — but for what?
In 2011, the General Services Administration, which owns and manages federal properties, invited interested parties to consider the prospects. More than 80 initially showed interest. Ultimately, 10 firms made formal proposals.
Last August, the agency signed a 60-year lease with the Trump Organization to renovate and convert the iconic building into a luxury hotel. Trump formally takes possession on Saturday, allowing work to begin on a $200 million makeover. The deal also includes two 20-year lease renewal options.
My local grocery store, Harmon's, has a pretty concerted program to eliminate plastic grocery bags and replace them with reusable ones like this. They even give a five cent credit on your bill for each bag you use.
I'm not a big fan of these cheaper ones and use canvas tote bags so often given as premiums on PBS and NPR. They work very well and don't tear like the single use plastic ones do.
The Virginia creeper or Victoria creeper is native to eastern and central North America, including large parts of Canada and the United States, but also further south to eastern Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador, as well as Cuba. Additionally, it has been used as decorative plant in other parts of the world, where it tends to naturalise.

In 1887, Charles H. Hackley purchased the lots on which the Hackley & Hume Historic Site now stands. He immediately sold one and one-half of these lots to Thomas Hume. Charles H. Hackley hired David S. Hopkins of Grand Rapids to design and build the magnificent houses and City Barn. Construction took place between 1887 and 1889. Erie Caughell Hackley Smith inherited the Hackley House after the deaths of Charles and Julia in 1905. Erie and her family lived in the house for a time and then rented it out to boarders. In 1943, she donated the house to the Muskegon chapter of the American Red Cross in memory of Charles H. Hackley. The house served as the local Red Cross Headquarters until 1971 when the Hackley Heritage Association, a volunteer organization, purchased it and began to restore the structure.

Here we are - at our first ever Portland Oregon morsbags pod meeting. Morsbags are reusable cloth shopping bags. Read more about them at morsbags.com
These are grocery bags that have a second life doing "you know what". When the dogs hear me pull out a "poobag" they know it's time for a walk! So it's a double effort....I reuse the bags and I clean up after my dogs.

Vom Standpunkt der Qualitätsfotografie ist es natürlich ziemlich unvernünftig, so ein Gerät anzuschaffen, obwohl es in der abgebildeten Ausführung recht edel aussieht. Aber es gibt ja auch noch den Spaßfaktor und das kamerahistorische Interesse 😉
Die wenigen technischen Daten kann man direkt an der Kamera ablesen: Festblende 9, Brennweite 31 mm, "Focus-free"-lens (Fixfokus-Objektiv). Die Verschlusszeit steht auf der Verpackung: 1/120 Sekunde. Ferner sagt uns die Schachtel, dass diese "analoge Foto Kamera" für Farbe + Schwarz/Weiß geeignet ist. Komisch, ich hab immer gedacht, dass hängt mehr vom Film ab 😉
Diese Art von Aufnahmegerät scheint gerade ziemlich im Trend zu liegen, wie man auch hier und da sehen kann. Auch Kodak lässt auf so ein Ding seinen Namen drucken. Das Grundgerüst dieses Plastikapparates ist offensichtlich dasselbe wie bei den Einwegkameras, erkennbar an der Anordnung der Bedienelemente.
Man muss sicherlich nicht extra erwähnen, dass es ein Erzeugnis "made in China" ist.
