Remember, recycling is the last of the 3 Rs. You should reduce or reuse first.
The third one is ECYCE
Is that true? I thought recycling was giving new purpose to an old object. Reuse to me implies another person using the object but in the same way it was originally intended.
No, that's reusing. Recycling is breaking down the product into materials so it can be used to make new stuff.
The cycle in recycle means the production cycle.
What you’re describing is just giving/loaning/borrowing which don’t start with R but still contribute to a moneyless value economy which is still great for improving the efficient sharing of the resource pool toward desirable ends
Reparing is the first one, idk where reduce comes into the saying.
Maybe we need to include a 4th R?
I would argue that repair is part of re-use, since you are allowing it to be used again. So would be part of the second r. The first r is reduce, which would boil down to: if you already have one, don't buy another. It's more effective to not need the resources in the first place.
People with a single lever mixer tap:
Look what they need to Imitate a fraction of our power
still water
Gonna love those microplastics leeching in over time as well.
Microplastics are the least of your concern in these houses. Dual tap design implies open hot water reservoir with things living and dying in it. (it's dual because law forbids connecting undrinkable water to drinkable water systems)
That's why I eat plastic, gotta use that macro plastic to fight the micro plastics
That's reusing, not recycling.
