... when I cane across a flea market in a small neighbourhood and some people had a little makeshift box-table and were selling individual rusty nuts, bolts & so on. It did make a huge impression on me as I still think about it from time to time. At the time it made me wonder about poverty, nowadays about waste and what efficiency really means because it certainly ain't this speedy (literally) terra bruciata rush towards climate disaster ... #climatediary #waste #nonrenewbles

@MPaola@ecoevo.social I grew up collecting every screw, bolt and nut I saw to give my father for repairs and projects. I still have a coffee table he made from the back window of a VW bus. Eventually I grew up and everything I make or work on comes from that same ethic. Now my kids come home with screws, bolts and nuts they find when they play. The other day we found a dozen beads scattered on the street and made a necklace for my kid.
