Smile on Saturday theme: Three droplets.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
Don't waste anything of the apple ;-)
This picture is 7cm .
Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.
Love their flower displays and arrangements.. so much fun to take a photo of several and so much cheaper...
The fishermen on Kovalam Beach, after hauling in their nets, have sold their catch to retailers and local housewives who have loaded up their coolers and bags. The method this elderly gentleman uses to transport a meagre amount of sardines off the beach suggests that he has waited to collect any fish left in the sand and is reverently carrying them home.
Waste not, want not.
I have been taking photographs at Jar, a vegan, no waste, health food shop in Plymouth. They have a signwriter/painter in to put a gold leaf sign above the door. These are some of the pictures taken in the process.
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.
Hallucinating paper tornadoes after a late night of homework.
Rolling up the resultant laser cut form of the paper cubes.
Here the roll is tight and glued at the base. The frail nature of the lattice forces it to breeak and bend naturally as it is rolled. A little fold and pull hand manipulation and a paper tornado emerges.
This one is my favorite.

These are a new version of an old recipe - and terribly addictive. Perfect crunch and seasoning - I will have to have someone hide them. I made a mexican lasagna a few weeks ago using 10" tortillas - which was great, except, you had to cut the round edges off 4 sides to make it fit a rectangle pan. Today I created a use for those rounds which I'd tucked back into the fridge. I cut them en mass into smaller bite-size pieces and tossed them in the seasoning mix. Whisk together in a medium size bowl: 1/4 cup butter melted, 1 tsp worcesterschire sauce, 3/4 tsp chili powder and 1 tsp maple garlic seasoning. Toss in the cut up tortilla pieces and toss and turn until they're all coated. I baked them in the air fryer but you can also cook in 300F oven for 20-25 minutes. The idea came from a shreddies snack mix I made when the kids were little. Photo's not fantastic but it was shot for the December most versatile challenge - documentary photos in the Compositionally Challenged group. www.flickr.com/groups/2652515@N24/

A Nowaste team-member at the Austrian edition of the ClimateLaunchpad Boot Camp, which took place in Vienna on 28 May 2015.
Climate-KIC's ClimateLaunchpad is Europe’s largest cleantech business idea competition. Our mission? To unlock Europe’s cleantech potential and accelerate innovations that address climate change. To be able to do that, we need to find Europe’s best sustainability ideas. This competition creates a stage for those ideas.

Read about the project here:
One thing you realize very quickly when working with the laser is that there is a lot of waste.
I do my best to optimize jobs to reduce waste. Pieces are sized according to material available, and space fitting geometric arrangements are developed to allow the most number of pieces in a given material. Still, there is much waste.
The ultimate way to reduce or even eliminate waste is to create designs that use both sides of the cut, where the resultant form is also used. Usually this is intentional, but for the paper tornado, it was a happy accident.
