Ross of OttawaA reduce, reuse, recycle… repair day, as I've sourced a replacement spray handle/wand for our long-used <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#garden</a> spray tank.A whole new tank isn't that expensive really, but I'm glad we were able to just replace the wand rather than get a new tank&hose too. A lot of plastic in that tank, and new ones are no doubt somewhat lighter built. This one is prob 30yrs old or so.Useful for a little soapy-water spray as bugs attack the potatoes and flowers. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/reduceReuseRecycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#reduceReuseRecycle</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#repair</a>

Johanna, CanCon variantAn idea someone should steal, and ship me a nice block of cheese if you make a go of it:Community-centred reuse depot for packaging and shipping materials. Rather than just streamed recycling of corrugated boxes, mailer envelopes & padding, which you then go buy more of from (*ptui*) Uline, divert the clean and undamaged product, sort and store it in a central locale, and let people pick up what they need and pay what they can. <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/circularEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#circularEconomy</a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#degrowth</a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/reduceREUSErecycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#reduceREUSErecycle</a>

Denis 🌏o wise fediverse:I have this pewter plate that is engraved with a facsimile of a graduation invitation. My partner's father got it for her when she graduated college.From some web searching, I'm pretty sure pewter has almost no value whatsoever (unless historical), and this probably even less because it's personalized.But it feels weird to throw it in the trash.

AffieniaAnother adjust rather than make. I’ve had this dress since I was about 15, I’m now 43. I’ve made many adjustments to it across the last 10 years or so.Made the straps shorter multiple times so only the strap part of a bra shows at the front. I hate strapless bras so this has been a big issue. Added pockets. Taken it in at the waist a few times. Tried sewing a bra into it last year, didn’t really work so took that out this year. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MeMadeMay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MeMadeMay</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SlowFashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SlowFashion</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ReduceReuseRecycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ReduceReuseRecycle</a>

Maggie Maybe<a href="https://helvede.net/@Tryllesokker" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Tryllesokker</a> I love this! I have a couple soft collar neck braces around my place, I need them for migraines, but I also used to wear them on flights because they work better for sleeping than those stupid neck pillows.I wash them regularly but they are stained by hair dye and make up. I made “sleeves” for them from shirt sleeves from shirts that are not wearable anymore.I don’t know why I didn’t think about doing this years ago. The material from my shirt sleeves is more comfortable than the material used for the brace, and I can somewhat color coordinate. It’s less noticeable when it isn’t “medical device white” (I hate the attention it causes- people get confused when I explain it’s from an injury from 13 years ago, United healthcare wouldn’t pay for disc replacements, so here I am still in pain forever.)<a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ReduceReuseRecycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ReduceReuseRecycle</a>
