Reusing EV batteries for energy storage can offer greater carbon savings than direct recycling

Isn't that outrageous.
I can't believe I already have to glue the sole back.
I've used this trainers first as every day shoes and now as gardening shoes.
For barely 25 years!

Die Krux mit Kleiderspenden 
“Kleiderspenden hätten extreme Distanzen zurückgelegt: Eine schwarze Jacke landete nach Zwischenstationen in Ungarn, Slowenien, Kroatien, Malta und dem Oman nach 10.200 Kilometern ebenfalls in Pakistan, um dort in einem Stahlwerk verbrannt zu werden.”

This is my inherited 1974 #Brother sewing machine. I've never used one before.
No computing or display screen, just complex mechanics and relies on a weird hefty removable steel bobbin holder!
Initial projects: broken handle on a bag, cushion seat covers repair including a missing tie, stitching an unraveled towel hem, making a leatherette phone case!
I'm not good at it, but at least I'm trying!

What is so satisfying as a great used book sale in support of the local library?
Not even sure what I came home with. May have blacked out for a moment in the frenzy to stuff my $6 bag full
I present you the rarest of animals on our little homestead: A finished project!
A fence-straddling firewood store for the sauna on the other side and some nice fruit tree logs for the #wheelbarbie on this side.
Also currently onion+garlic drying station. It's so good at that, I'll definitely keep the feature.
Made from old concrete pylons I pulled out of the garden, some scrap steel, some logs that were destined to be firewood, a couple recycled shack planks, a lot of old sheet metal riveted together and an ancient roll of tar paper.
Total cost about €30, mostly for paints and a few screws. Bonus: Less junk laying around!
I have an old dishwasher sitting around destined for the scrap yard, but I want to pull a few pieces off that might be useful (heading element, etc). I have an idea to use the circulation pump as a garden water pump from my future rain barrels. Anyone out there done something similar? Is it simple to wire up with a simple on/off switch? Any way to power it with solar and batteries even though it's 110v A/C? #upcycle #repair #garden #diy #fixit #reuse #tinker #maker #solarpunk
The final version of the pouch for my CD player made out of old jeans. All it needs left is a brass zipper for the back pocket, and it'll be complete! :D
I still have enough jeans to turn into two ita bags. One to keep and one to sell. But I will be taking a break from bags for now since I still have a jacket to work on.

Well, my personal site (UK) for selling and giving away stuff is not getting a lot of enquiries so far. I guess it's just reach.
I have updated it with the next lot of objects though.
Slippers! Vintage Computing! Power supplies! DIY music gear salvage! Headphones! random crap!
If you are in the UK please look!
