Was mache ich eigentlich beruflich? Diese Frage habe ich in den letzten Jahren so oft gehört, und statt sie – für mich alleine auch schon, denn darum geht es – zufriedenstellend beantworten zu können, war ich mir ob der richtigen Antwort nie so sicher. Alles und nichts, irgendwie.
Eine sehr gute Dokumentation von Kathrin Latsch namens “Die grüne Revolution” über Braungart/McDonough, den Stoffkreislauf für technologische und biologische Nährstoffe und mit jeder Menge guter Praxisbeispiele – die vom NDR leider auf den unmöglichsten Sendeplatz überhaupt gesetzt wurde: in der Nacht vom Montag auf Dienstag, 15.-16.12, morgens um 3:40 Uhr. Michael Braungart wies uns letztens … Continue reading “alles Sondermüll”
I’ve just come home from attending “Nutec” today – an international congress and exhibition on “Nutec: Nutrients – Upcycling – Triple-Top-Line-Eco-effectiveness-Community” that took place right here in Frankfurt am Main, Germany during the last three days. Nutec is all about nutrients that will remain in a biological or technical loop, or as the tagline on … Continue reading “NUTEC – cradle 2 cradle fair”

The list isn’t complete as some Ministries refused to provide information on this … Continue reading “serikali ya Ujerumani + CO2 emissions”
We had an interested reader over @ Afrigadget.com writing in the other day, who’s based in Juba, Sudan, and was inquiring about low cost, low tech, low maintenance recycling concepts for *plastic* bottles (PET). At best, I am afraid, we could only tell him about recycling companies already active in East Africa (especially Kenya) and … Continue reading “the deposit system”
