Guten Morgen liebes #fediverse
Heute wollen wir Euch unser #Maskottchen, den Bären "Herr Kuhnke" vorstellen.
Im Sommer 2023 haben wir Herrn Kuhnke von einem #Abfallhof gerettet, er sollte einfach entsorgt werden.
Das konnten wir natürlich nicht zulassen und haben ihn sofort eingestellt.
Herr Kuhnke ist noch ein klassischer #Teddy mit Gelenken an den Armen und Beinen. Er ist sicherlich schon sehr alt.
Nun darf er regelmäßig unsere Produkte vorstellen und ist sehr stolz auf seine harte Arbeit.
Diesmal zeigt er Euch einen Umbau eines #Telefon Mikrofons zum Mikro für #Konferenzen, #djs oder zum fröhlichen #Gesang .

“Right now, there is a huge demand for such ‘hybrid’ laptops... Most people don’t care about having the latest model; they just want something that works and won’t break the bank.”

Today's Opp Shop find - a leather handbag with nice clean lining and working zips :) I've given it some love with olive oil and I'm hoping it will last years more
Here's another great example of reusing older #data.

First bin assembled! The doggo was supervising and guarding against squirrels.
I'll probably store leaves in the second bin until I need the brown for the first bin. This is going to be super-lazy-composting where I dig up what's underneath to use - so basically a FIFO stack.
Hey there Mastadon Masterminds! Can you suggest a use for these plastic lids? We don't have the bottoms but we have four boxes of tops. Any creative ideas? #Reuse #MNastadon #Sustainability #DeGrowth
Had some leftover bits of silver so I melted them together to form this organic rock-like pendant. Found a suitable garnet to set into it and a lovely rough pendant was born.
I feel reusing everything is just the most satisfying end result.
