@Alien_Sunset this study from the UK in 2022 did find that secondhand clothing had a lower environmental footprint than new, even if posted to a distribution centre and then posted out from there https://circulareconomyjournal.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Klooster_et_al_Do-we-save-the-environment-by-buying-second-hand-clothes-The-environmental-impacts-of-second-hand-textile-fashion-and-the-influence-of-consumer-choices.pdf

So I know there are crosslisting tools that allow people to sell second-hand items on platforms like ebay or vinted, but are there the opposite, search tools that specifically search for things second hand across different platforms? In a more #CircularEconomy if you needed something it would be helpful if you needed something if the first results returned by a search were local and second hand, does any sort of tool like this exist?
Urban environments push birds to evolve in remarkable ways. 
• Crows develop bigger brains and longer wings
• Use human materials like anti-bird spikes to build nests
• Magpies communicate louder to overcome city noise
This adaptation illustrates exaptation — nature’s way of creative reuse, inspiring new circular economy models. #UrbanAdaptation #Exaptation #CircularEconomy

In many countries, retrieval of usable #materials from #WasteStreams is an entire #livelihood for people in #underemployed communities. All recovery of materials is work, and deserves dignity.

Ever wondered what happens to all that abandoned camping gear at festivals... well at least some of it finds its way to up cyclers who re-use the materials for new (up cycled) products.
Its a small example of how the circular economy might work, but also demonstrates the continuing grip of the throw-away culture.
Still, good to see Retribe making a difference; it would be better if the stuff was not abandoned but if it s Retribe has an answer!

@Wileymiller Trump is eagerly promoting the #CircularEconomy.
Self-dealing -> Offshore accounts -> Buying govt. positions -> Self-dealing. You can also straight up embezzle the money, but that takes more work in suppressing the courts and the media. Bribes also work, but that means you owe other people.
There will always be a surplus, this is best spent on yachts and faux castles.
What's that you're saying, this is *not* what circular economy means ? Lower resource waste ? Never heard of it.
