Is there a community for upcycling, reusing, repurposing things?

!reuse
!freecycle
!thrifty

!zerowaste@slrpnk.net?

!zerowaste@lemmy.ml too

Maybe off-topic answers since you probably specifically meant fediverse communities, but here's my thoughts:

• Local Buy Nothing groups can be a great way to keep things in use and out of landfills.
• I would think any craft communities might be a great way to get general ideas.
• I see what you did there.

Just my thoughts, fwiw.

I keep thinking about a conversation I had with someone that you should replaced your shoes every few hundred kilometers, and based on the number they gave me I would have to buy new shoes every two months. I took this as a challenge to wear my shoes till the bittter end. In the last two and a half years I had to reglue some spots and by now the soles are worn through on most parts, so it is getting time. But why cant I repair and jeep using them for longer?

I know this is a couple days old but just popping in to suggest !sewingrepairing@sh.itjust.works
