Glass can be recycled forever without getting weaker or dirtier. That means most glass ever made could still be melted down and reused perfectly today.

Gothic fiction — like pornography, to which historically and formally it has often been very closely related — is characterised not by linear and rational narrative progression, but by circularity and repetition, in which probability and causality increasingly fall away.

Circular economy: Lessons from China - Nature

The country consumes the most resources in the world and produces the most waste — but it also has the most advanced solutions, say John A.

China has led the world in promoting the recirculation of waste materials.

Objectives included reusing 72% of industrial solid waste by 2015 and raising resource productivity (economic output per unit resources used) by 15%. The plan laid out a three-pronged '10–100–1,000' strategy: 10 major programmes focusing on recycling industrial wastes, conversion of industrial parks, remanufacturing, urban mining, and the development of waste-collection and recycling systems; 100 demonstration cities such as Suzhou and Guangzhou; and 1,000 demonstration enterprises or industrial parks nationwide. In 2012, the NDRC and the finance ministry called for 50% of national industrial parks and 30% of provincial ones to complete circular-economy transformation initiatives by 2015, with an aim of achieving close to zero discharge of pollutants.

All establishments associated with my university no longer provide single use cups for to go products. You can either bring your own mug to be filled, or they will give you one of these for one euro fee.

You can bring it back and get one euro back/a clean one or you can keep it and use it everywhere. The cups are standardized so you don't have to return them at the same place where you got them.

Just a little step. But little steps are to be celebrated.
