BRATTLEBORO FOOD COOP PROPERTY (from Facebook)
Mastodon Post

The attached black and white photograph shows much of the old Super Duper Plaza: - the current location of the Brattleboro Food Coop and parking lot.

The Super Duper Plaza never looked quite this bleak ... or shabby.  The supermarket, itself, had a highly unusual feature.  The floor had warped badly and there was a hump of good size that one needed to push a shopping cart up over.  It was even more fun pushing a cart down the other side of the hump.  I am glad I never ran over anybody with a heavy cart.  In those days, downtown supermarkets included the Super Duper, the Grand Union, and the A&P.  To the right of the photo was the old Idlenot Restaurant which made ice cream sundaes that couldn't be beat.  Further to the right, beyond our field of view, is one of the spots where Brattleboro's recycling program got started.  There was a place where one could deposit one's recyclables.  Curbside pickup came much later.

Finally, a good news story about #Alberta!

"...the province reported Albertans had recycled their way to the top spot nationally and came in second in North America with more than two billion cans, bottles and other beverage containers returned."

'A new method to recycle wind turbine blades without using harsh chemicals resulted in the recovery of high-strength glass fibers and resins that allowed Washington State University researchers to re-purpose the materials to create stronger plastics.

The innovation provides a simple and environmentally friendly way to recycle wind turbine blades to create useful products.'

Nämlich!

I have an old circuit board from a venerable HP inkjet printer, with a bunch of 1820-6189 which as far as I know was HP’s version of CD74HC4514M. 4/16 line decoder / demultiplexer. If someone in Switzerland wants that send me a message. Maybe I will desolder the capacitors and the black IR sensor for shipping. #retrocomputer #electronics #recycling #HPPrinter #components
