Surplus Sufficients: Living to the Excess on the Excess
This future Architype from the Rubbish = Resource Event at ODC last week really resonates with me. I’m now pondering what the infrastructural needs would be for me to make the leap to a Surplus Sustained existence. The Surplus Sufficient

System Upcycling: Using the infrastructure of a broken system to build a better world.
One of the ideas which sprang from our discussions around the future of waste was that of “System Upcycling”. System Upcyclers look at how existing infrastructures and technologies can be put to better use, they look to take the elements
