Hack trash:

Everything is free alchemy: Ecologically, the concept of trash is part of
the problem. My view from about 6 weeks at Rainbow cleanup acknowledges +
decolonizes, or hacks, the idea of trash into materials primarily. Trash
manifests these materials freely, with actually a negative value for the
source person or firm generally, This includes wood, metal, paper, plastic
tarps and stuff e-waste such as speakers (MAGNETS!), Any construction site
has these materials regularly, people who are still consumers make them,
firms, and households.

This alchemical transformation functions well for it's purpose (eg, hack
everything is free) to fit our lives and solve environmental problems.
These inventions not only allow someone to live no house, no money, but
also reduce waste and can be replicated without buying them. Try it out--
if you can find and design from the SudoRoom wiki, great. Otherwise, I will
be uploading clearer how-to's which will be going into my twitter feed (
http://twitter.com/eddiemill) from the Sudo Room wiki:

The concept of trash is part of the problem. We need to be more than just
consumers. If these are larger things, can stuff be hacked? Can it be
up-cycled? Is there someone who would use metal to melt it down and
repurpose it, or recycle it? If there are large things, is there a place
that gives these materials freely (I honestly really miss the materials
dumpster from across the street, which was even policed)? Could we go there
and get things from them to hack, so that we are neutral net effect? If we
are "talking these things to death" this week anyone who's read this email
might discuss trash in terms of where we can get (and, maybe deposit)
groundscores, perhaps like nodes in the East Bay.

And, for cleanliness and organization(cause John's email just came in)--
reverse entropy! :D
