Tip: if you are making maki rolls - or fish cakes as I’m intending to here - use a spoon to easily scrape the flesh off the skin and bones.

#MaineDEP says expansion of state’s largest landfill would benefit public
The decision allows the state to apply to add 61 acres to the state-owned #JuniperRidgeLandfill, which takes in 52% of the state's waste.
by Penelope Overton
October 2, 2024
"Despite objections from neighbors and environmental groups, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection concluded Wednesday that expanding the state’s largest landfill, Juniper Ridge, would substantially benefit the public.
It’s not an outright approval, but the department’s decision allows the state to apply to add 61 acres to the state-owned Juniper Ridge Landfill, which takes in 52% of the state’s waste. The state claims this expansion would extend the facility’s operating life by 11 years; without it, it would run out of space by 2028.
"DEP Commissioner Melanie Loyzim’s decision can be appealed to the Board of Environmental Protection and the Maine courts, and several opponents of the proposed expansion, like the Boston-based #ConservationLawFoundation , say they are prepared to challenge the decision.
"'This decision recklessly gambles with public health and the environment,' said #AlexandraStPierre, the director of communities and toxics in the foundation’s #EnvironmentalJustice Program. 'It dismisses the serious concerns raised by the #PenobscotNation and other nearby residents about the harmful effects this expansion will have on their health and community.'
"She continued: 'We refuse to allow this dangerous expansion to proceed unchecked.'
"The foundation and other opponents say the #OldTown location of the facility unfairly places the burden of the state’s trash needs on the Penobscot Nation. The #leachate that #JuniperRidge produces when it rains is sent to a nearby paper mill sewer plant that discharges into the #PenobscotRiver.
[...]
"The amount of waste heading to Maine landfills has increased 34% between 2018 and 2022, according to DEP. #Sludge that was once spread on #agricultural fields is now landfilled due to forever chemical #contamination [#PFAS]. The amount of municipal solid waste landfilled during that time jumped 47%.
"While some people say Maine is not doing enough to divert waste from the #landfills – for example, a bill that would have required large #FoodWaste generators to #recycle their #scraps at a nearby facility died on the appropriations table – others object to #Casella as the facility operator.
"Casella clashed with some municipal leaders and state lawmakers when it refused to accept the #biosolids created by wastewater treatment plants at Juniper Ridge out of fear that the mushy slop, or sludge, was causing structural instability that could lead to the landfill’s collapse."

How cool. First time I’ve heard the term “pre-cycling”.
“Flat Pack Organic Oat Milk is produced through a proprietary 2D-printing process that transforms oat milk paste into ultra-light sheets.”
NOTE: Do not be coming into my comments with how “this is awful” or “not good enough” or “it’s not actually vegan”. I’m not here for that and will block you.

The-14 Pictures · Earth Day 2024: 4 effective strategies to reduce household food waste | The-14Consequences of food loss and waste In Canada, each household is estimated to throw away nearly three kilograms of food that could have been eaten each week. To put that number in context, that is about 15 apples or large carrots sent to the landfill unnecessarily each week. Food costs account on average for over
Another small #upcycling project: I turned a children's clothes hanger into a hanger for kitchen towels by screwing some wooden beads in matching colours into it. Perfect for the office or other spaces where attaching things to the wall isn't an option. #diy #reducewaste
I like using #tags for #plants in my flat & #garden but find that wooden ones rot too fast. Nonpermant markers on #plastic tags also aren't an option because they wash off in no time. So I decided to print & laminate paper labels that I can then attach to my plastic tags with photo stickers. Long-lasting & easy to replace if necessary. I got the photo stickers from a German drugstore whose logo you see in the pictures -- but they aren't paying me for advertising. ;-) #DIY #reuse #reducewaste

Covid tests seem to have too short of a shelf-life to justify ordering them if you don't think you'll use them. #ReduceWaste
I love this idea of having a ‘plant second chance box’ to reduce waste! I’ve managed to rescue a few near dead plants that others have over-watered or neglected, so I fancy my chances.
I think these folks are UK delivery only, but others may do similar schemes

@Curator nice idea!
1) What do you create?
Lots! Mainly, I give trashed materials (paper, textile, yarn) new life as drawings, books, greeting cards, collage, crochet..
2) What's your preferred medium?
For drawing, ballpoint pen. Dirt cheap and available everywhere.
3) Someone that influenced your style?
All the amazing people showing up for the #aalborgsketching events i organize in my local town.
4) What's the most important thing for you to convey with your work?
#reducewaste
Single use item restrictions are starting in #YEG. Maybe now is a good time to share some of waste reduction actions/reusable items we use. Feel free to reply with yours! (1/?)
Cloth napkins/hankies: we made ours out of old baby receiving blankets, you can also buy them, or make them out of any reasonably soft fabric that can be washed hot. Cotton is nice. Sanitize by soaking in diluted H202 and wash hot. Feels nicer on your skin than paper

One way I reduce waste while I craft: I collect yarn scraps, and use them for stuffing toys. This helps me feel better about letting my kids play with yarn: if it gets too tangled to reuse, it gets another life as stuffing. Bonus: most of my yarn is already reused yarn from items given to charity that the charity didn't want, and then were sold for frogging (tearing apart) purposes by a local fabric recycler/thrift store. Yarn scraps are lighter/fluffier than fabric scraps. #crochet #ReduceWaste
