RE: How to Build a More Sustainable World: Repurpose the Trash Resources We Have in Great Abundance! Here Are Some Great Projects for Upcycling Tires
Great idea, this is a wonderful thing you have going on. In American society, it's just shocking how much waste takes place... even something as routine as turning on the water faucet immediately starts wasting precious resources. And plastic bags, ooph.
I never knew you could do such interesting things with tires... Next time I have my hands on some, I might have to try the chairs or the tire-garden ideas. Thanks for educating us.
Thanks for your comment, @heymattsokol~
It is absolutely shocking how much waste goes on! It demonstrates some incredibly skewed values and programmed perceptions. Who's going to take care of all this trash?? Throwing it away doesn't actually send it anywhere...we're all still here on Earth. And what about all the resources that went into creating this stuff that's still in perfect condition when it gets sent to the landfill--the mining of resources (which is often synonymous with the rape of our planet), design, labor, capital, distribution...all of that is completely forsaken!
The possibilities are endless when we honor and value our resources!!
Thats right!
There are sooooo many possibilities once one begins to look and care. I really hope this inspires you.
We save over 350,000 lbs of trash from the landfill each year. You can help support that and so much more that we do with an up vote, resteem, and follow!
We are the power~*~
