We live in a throw-away society, and it’s destroying the

planet. Perfectly good items are discarded when the next

latest-and-greatest iteration comes along. Manufacturers

often exacerbate the situation by making gadgets that aren’t

designed to survive

more than a few years of

active use.

As makers and

hackers, we’re in a

position to change this. This month we’re taking a look

at how to move in the opposite direction and reuse parts

from scrapped products. This isn’t so much a skill as a state

of mind. If you stop seeing old products as something to

dispose of and start seeing them as the parts for your next

project, you can save money, save the planet, and make

some truly unique creations.
