Our Wonderful Green FutureThis video is a really really good example of the Circular Economy in action. It’s proper, ground-up, thinking. It’s putting Recycling and Reusing at the very heart of every decision and every step. It’s about starting off on the right foot and staying on the right path. Builder Robbie Neville starts this video by saying “This industry was built on unbridled destruction and consumption of natural resources (what we are doing) starts with just understanding what we already have. We’re not even scratching the surface of that.”How true is that? Reusing, in the building industry, is almost non existent. Robbie shows us in this video what can be achieved, if we make reusing an integral part of the construction industry. As well as thinking of climate change and social justice, every step of the way. [Notes that accompany the video] Starting out as a builder, Robbie Neville noticed a truly shocking amount of building waste headed to landfills around Australia with no thought given to how it could be used. So he started salvaging it himself, and so began Revival Projects. A multidisciplinary practice that exclusively operates with existing materials and sustainability in mind. Building Australia’s first inner-city timber mill, repurposing entire heritage brick buildings bit by bit, and saving mountains of still useful timber from demolition projects. Repurposing it into shopfronts, apartments, houses and everything in between, Robbie and Revival projects have built a life based on pushing the building industry outside its comfort zone. They live on the cutting edge of re-use and recycling in Australia, and are one of the few practices like them around the world.<blockquote><blockquote>“I have a dream of a demolition plan, where every single element on that page, noted for demolition, has an associated note or instruction around what is to become of those materials, how they’re to be handled, where they’re to go and how they might be repurposed, in buildings of any scale. There’s no way that you have a use for every single component of that building. But if you’ve reached a conclusion that you’re going to take accountability for those existing materials and how they handled, I expect we’ll see some really creative outcomes and collaborations.”</blockquote></blockquote>There are so many other cool ideas discussed in this video. Other great projects and initiatives Revival Projects are working on. The idea of reusing materials on site. Urban tree reclamation. There’s even an App! It all highlights how poorly we are doing, when it comes to reusing, recycling and sustainability. More importantly it shows us what can be done, how it can be done and the change in thinking that is needed. The idea that “its not waste, its a potentially valuable resource that just needs thought and consideration on how it can be used,” should inspire us all.

Alexander HanffSo found a use for my old iPhone - now using it as a continuity camera. Currently I keep the charging cable connected so the camera doesn't die mid conference call but eventually this will lead to issues with the battery.Sadly Apple has built their phones in such a way as the power supply will only work if there is a battery installed - which frankly, is rather stupid when it comes to re-using old hardware.<a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sustainability</a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/recycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#recycling</a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/reusing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#reusing</a>
