🔋A Man Powers Home for 8 Years Using 1,000 Old Laptop Batteries

｢ Glubux even began disassembling entire laptop batteries, removing individual cells and organizing them into custom racks. This task, which likely required a great deal of manual labor and technical knowledge, was key to making the system work effectively and sustainably ｣

This pocket-sized PC is made from an old smartphone motherboard

You often hear that the phone in your pocket has more processing power than the room-sized computers that NASA used to help send astronauts to the moon. But modern smartphones also have relatively limited lifespans – while some device makers are doing a better job of offering long-term support, it’s often cheaper or easier to replace an old phone than it is to fix a cracked display or replace […]

In Delhi, India, technicians are reviving old and broken laptops by using salvaged parts to create functional, low-cost devices. These "Frankenstein" laptops are in high demand, as many people cannot afford new models.

The Indian government is discussing right-to-repair laws, but progress remains slow, and repair shops continue to operate in legal limbo, often relying on informal supply chains.

Talking about dyeing with plants... Here is the easiest way to get a nice plant print on fabric. Toddler shirts with unexplainable stains made me try to put more stains on those shirts to prolong their life just a bit. I'm trying to use everything until it lasts and reuse, recycle and upcycle to last a little longer, waste less, buy less. I hate to throw out those perfectly usable shirts that just look terribly dirty because of plant, fruit and berry stains that happens in enormous amounts for kids who live outdoors whole summer long. Well, pretty plant stains put on shirts with the hammer stay pretty for about 3-4 times in the washing machine.

I was dreaming to hammer plants on a table cloth last summer, but I didn't get there. This is an easy way to get the juices of plants on textiles you aren't planning to wash too often. Doll fabrics, a tie, maybe... altar cloths?

It's also a productive way to release anger, frustration and agression. I hope you will give it a try.

'Romani and Egyptians in Albania's Informal Recycling Economy'

Arba writes:'The recycling work of Romani and Egyptians in Albania provides a window into the lives of the estimated 20 - 56 million waste pickers globally. These informal workers are responsible for more than half of plastic recycling globally, helping to curb greenhouse gases and reduce plastic pollution in oceans. Yet in most countries, these essential workers operate in legal gray areas, and in some places, like Albania, their labor is illegal. At present, only 10 - 18% of Albania’s municipal waste is collected for recycling.

'This reality prompts the need for a reimagining of waste. By framing garbage as a commons, societies can reconsider our collective sense of responsibility toward waste and the vulnerable communities who process and recycle trash. Forming new shared approaches to trash disposal and recycling could inform equitable and sustainable waste management policies worldwide.'

Arba Bekteshi is an urban anthropologist, cultural researcher, and artist. Her work focuses on changing urban landscapes, negotiations of public and private spaces, citizen agency, and understandings of immanence in documentary film. Bekteshi uses multimodal and sensory ethnography, psychogeography, cartography, and other forms of arts-based research to engage with the ethnographic field. She holds an M.A. in the anthropology of development and social transformation from the University of Sussex.
