#Rethink (can we design waste out of the system?) #Refuse (we can’t waste it if we don’t bring it home) #Reduce (can we make do with less?) #Reuse (ban ‘single use’) #Repurpose (can it be used for something else?) #Repair (what if we fixed it instead of throwing it away?)
Only then, if we can’t do any of those things, we should #recycle to recover the materials.
Want to help people directly in your area? Have too much stuff in your closets, attic, garage? Register for a freecycle account and give that stuff AWAY. There are ppl on here asking for everything. It won't cost you a dime:

I need that sticky flux!
Ihr lieben #Fediverse Menschen – ich habe mal eine kleine Gesucht- und Wunschliste erstellt – bevor es jemand wegwirft oder es in der Garage verstaubt … mich würde es erfreuen!
