Affaldshåndtering

Fra jord til bord: Lav dine egne planter helt fra bunden!Så dine frø og kerner gør det nemt at lave dine egne planter helt fra bunden. Det kræver kun nogle frø eller kerner, en lille smule udstyr og lidt plads – og du kan gøre det indendøre året rundt. Det er alletiders projekt for enhver, der har lyst til at begynde at dyrke i lille skala, og det er også en glimrende måde at lære børn noget om planter, og hvordan de gror.Lær fx om, hvordan du gør dine appelsinkerner, daddelsten og jordnødder til stueplanter og dyrker figen- og chiliplanter, så de giver frugt. Kom kernerne i jorden og oplev glæden ved at se, hvordan et lille skud udvikler sig til en plante.Derfor: Før du smider dine kerner i skraldespanden, så tænk på, at du kan få noget nyttigt ud af dem i stedet – det eneste, du har brug for, er en urtepotte og en vindueskarm. Det er sjovt at genbruge dit køkkenaffald – og bæredygtigt!Udgivet af Samvirke i samarbejde med Haveselskabet

Vi er den eneste art på Jorden, der efterlader os affald, som ingen andre arter ønsker eller kan bruge til noget. Men nu er der mikro-plast i havene, insektdød og rod i økosystemerne, og det skyldes vores manglende evne til at håndtere det affald, vi selv har skabt i vores hastige udvikling. Det kan ikke fortsætte.Vi må bruge vores fantasi til at betragte affaldsudfordringen med opfinderbriller. Affald er et demokratisk råmateriale, som enhver har adgang til. Ligesom fantasien. Med fantasiens hjælp kan vi forædle affaldet på intelligente og kreative måder, så det, der ligner værdiløse spildprodukter, kan genopstå som ny værdi – også i økonomisk forstand.AFFALD OG FANTASI er en guide til at tænke vildt – for fremtidens skyld. Bogen fortæller om danskere fra Lemvig til København NV, som har gjort sig selv til moderne alkymister, og den viser, hvordan du også kan komme til at spille en rolle i et grønt paradigmeskift. Affald og fantasi kan meget vel vise sig at være den både betydeligste og sjoveste vej til at skabe den verden, vi ønsker os.

Description:In a time overwhelmed by comfort and large scale manufacturing, the issue of plastic waste has arisen as a worldwide natural emergency. In any case, in the midst of the mounting concerns, a groundbreaking idea known as "Waste to Miracles" is reclassifying our way to deal with plastic, diverting it from a contamination into a wellspring of development and maintainability. The center way of thinking of Waste to Marvels is established in the possibility of round economy standards, planning to limit squander and expand the worth of assets. This drive goes past the regular ideas of reusing by embracing a comprehensive methodology that starts at the plan stage and reaches out all through the whole lifecycle of an item. One of the vital parts of Waste to Marvels is the accentuation on reconsidering the actual idea of plastic. Rather than survey it as a dispensable product, this drive energizes a change in outlook towards perceiving plastic as a significant asset. By integrating eco-accommodating materials, planning for solidness, and carrying out dependable removal rehearses, the point is to break free from the straight "take, make, arrange" model that has powered the plastic emergency. The most common way of changing plastic waste into ponders includes creative reusing advances. High level techniques like substance reusing and upcycling are utilized to change over disposed of plastic into excellent materials appropriate for different applications. These advancements lessen the ecological effect of plastic as well as open up additional opportunities for making manageable items. Waste to Miracles likewise advances public mindfulness and commitment, empowering people and networks to take part in the progress towards a more reasonable future effectively. Training efforts feature the significance of capable utilization, squander isolation, and the job of buyers in driving positive change. By cultivating a feeling of obligation and natural cognizance, Waste to Miracles tries to make a culture of supportability that reaches out past the life expectancy of individual items. One striking sign of Waste to Marvels is the production of workmanship and foundation from reused plastic. Figures, establishments, and, surprisingly, practical designs are made utilizing plastic waste, transforming what was once a natural risk into stylishly satisfying and significant manifestations. These unmistakable portrayals act as strong images of the groundbreaking potential inborn in reexamining our way to deal with plastic. Basically, Waste to Miracles is something other than a reusing drive; it is a source of inspiration for a crucial change in our relationship with plastic. By embracing development, instruction, and dependable utilization, this development is directing us towards a future where plastic isn't an issue to be discarded yet an asset to be treasured and reused to improve our planet.
