Screening today, one third complete. Though this cheap screen does not intend to be repaired the vibrator is great at cutting through the tiny nails that hold the frame in place. Screws replace them for easier future repairs.
@teruterubozu thinks I should get a calligraphy brush next, lol. She's just jealous of my zen like intentionality repairs.

Stop Crushing Your #Aluminum Cans. How to #Recycle Like a Pro
#Recycling takes more than just throwing an #emptycan in the bin. Here's how to do it properly.
First bin assembled! The doggo was supervising and guarding against squirrels.
I'll probably store leaves in the second bin until I need the brown for the first bin. This is going to be super-lazy-composting where I dig up what's underneath to use - so basically a FIFO stack.
File under "It never hurts to ask!"
I'm putting together pallet-compost bins. To reuse/recycle, I asked a local business if I could have some. "Sure, we just throw them out" said the manager on duty and now I've got enough pallets for a two bin approach.

PSA: If you want to chop up your loops like it's 1995 you could either grab #ReCycle from the big plugin vendors for 100 earth credits, or you could head to https://www.reasonstudios.com/download-recycle and download it for free (and your email address).
I actually had it in my wishlist for a while, hoping for an eventual discount, and all of a sudden this dropped!
Now if only I still had a SCSI port to connect my sampler to...

#Interview met de algemeen directeur van #Vinted in de Volkskrant: https://www.volkskrant.nl/economie/vinted-ceo-thomas-plantenga-over-fast-fashion-en-de-kledingindustrie~b59635d6/
Hier en daar zegt ie wel zinnige dingen - bijv. minder fast fashion productie - , maar regelmatig slaat ie de plank mis en komt met weinig goede argumenten als reactie op de vragen.
Waar het idee van Vinted best aardig is, komt het bedrijf via deze man toch niet bijzonder sympathiek over.

@AlienAnomaly Just like the Keep America Beautiful campaign, the problem wasn't companies that made products and packaging that were meant to be thrown away but people who littered. #environment #recycle
