#Version 0.6 (content)
Ok. Here is a new version for the text. With quite a few changes. Sentences marked with two ** are new and sentences marked with one * are changed. Native speakers if you spot anything strange let me know.
I also kicked out this one. If someone thinks it should be integrated again. I am open to opinions:
Inhabit circularity. Reuse the reused, recycle the recycled, repair the repaired.
Ok. Here it is, Version 0.6
#Make: Circularity
Use easily recyclable materials. *
–
Source locally wherever you can. Work with what is locally available. *
–
Make the by-products of today’s project the material for tomorrow’s. *
–
Your project’s future? Is it made for the bin or made to build upon? *
–
Bio-based is cool, bio-degradable is cooler!
–
Screws are better than glues; nuts and bolts are even better!
–
Reversibility is key: Make everything separable and fit for reassembly.
–
Avoid toxins. Save rare materials. * *
–
Modularity is good! Parts that work as other parts are fun.
_
Repairing sometimes is the greatest kind of making.
update: Repairing is often the best kind of making
_
Can you do more with less? Hack and improve old projects. Substitute something with nothing. *
_
Use common and open standards and tools, avoid expensive special equipment and approaches. *
_
Simple and easy to understand is beautiful, social and often more sustainable. *
–
Collaborate. Find symbioses with projects of others. * *
_
Be open. Enable others to build upon your work. *
_
Go for a walk in the woods, study how good nature is at circularity. *

What are the reasons to take it out? I have a few edits on the text, will upload a revised version shortly.

Why take out:
Inhabit circularity. Reuse the reused, recycle the recycled, repair the repaired.
?
I thought it is a bit redundant, pedantic and the suggestion to walk in the woods the better finale.
Looking forward to the edits.
Almost done

Make: Circularity
Use recyclable materials. *
[Deleted ‘easily’ because very few materials are ‘easily’ recyclable, it’s a bit meaningless to say this.]
–
Source locally whenever you can. Work with locally available materials. *
[‘Wherever’ doesn’t read well here, because of the use of the word ‘locally’ before it ‘locally wherever’…have changed it to ‘whenever’, as well as improving second part to read more clearly]
–
Make the by-products of today’s project the material for tomorrow’s. *
[Not sure ‘Make’ is the right word to start this sentence with. This works: 'The by-products of today’s project can be the materials for tomorrow’s.]
–
Your project’s future? Is it made for the bin or made to build upon? *
[Would it be better to say ‘product’s’ rather than ‘projects’ here and throughout?]
–
Bio-based is cool, bio-degradable is cooler!
–
Screws are better than glues: nuts and bolts are even better!
[Changed semi-colon to colon for consistency with other statements]
–
Reversibility is key: Make everything separable and fit for reassembly.
[Suggestion: ‘Reversibility is key: Maintain separable parts fit for reassembly’]
–
Avoid toxins. Save rare materials. * *
[I think ‘recover’ might be a better word than ‘save’ here - not 100% sure though?]
–
Modularity is good! Parts that work as other parts are fun.
_
Repairing is the greatest kind of making.
[Deleted ‘sometimes’ as it’s not grammatically correct…still not sure about this one]
_
Can you do more with less? Hack and improve old projects. Substitute something with nothing. *
[I find ‘substitute something with nothing’ a bit clunky: ‘keep it simple’ or ‘use the bare essentials’ are options]
_
Use common and open standards and tools. Avoid expensive special equipment and approaches. *
_
Simple and easy to understand is beautiful, social and often more sustainable. *
–
Collaborate. Find symbioses with other peoples’ projects. * *
[Changed order of words for better grammar]
_
Be open. Enable others to build upon your work. *
_
Go for a walk in the woods, study how good nature is at circularity. *

Just two questions at the moment.
Use (easily) recyclable materials
Maybe I am not well informed. But aren’t almost all materials recyclable? And It is just a question of energy and effort? So that is the reason for “easily”.
Repairing is (sometimes) the greatest kind of making.
Without sometimes… well, repairing is not ALWAYS the best thing to do. So without “sometimes” the sentence is just wrong. Is there another way to express that it is “sometimes” or “often” the better way?

Thermoset plastics aren’t recyclable. Recycling is a dirty and energy intensive process that is the least desirable treatment. We want people to repair and reuse and I think using the term ‘easily’ is misleading. Very few materials are ‘easily’ recyclable…also very few materials are in fact recycled. In the UK, most are incinerated, sadly.
As for the second point, yes, agree - with ‘sometimes’ the sentence is also wrong 
‘Repairing is often the best kind of making’ is better…

I know you want to keep this practical and not really philosophical / theoretical but I think there is always a case for subversion. Here are two additional points that are important when we talk about circularity. The first point is of course the most critical question and the second can be conveyed as a practical point:
- Questioning the genuine need for a project before we start making it, or, making things that solve real needs that improve peoples lives
- Emotional attachment of products means people keep them longer and we can achieve this by making them unique or personalised
Hi Sharon, Indeed. I want to keep it practical. Useful for someone who wants to build something (and can’t be stopped anymore). Your points are valid but both too vague for something practical. And the poster is open and ready to be forked and remixed. In this branch here I’d like to stay focussed on the practical things.
Also because it is for makers and hobbyists experimenting in Fablabs or maker spaces “projects” is probably better than “products”.
Ok. My next (and hopefully final) version comes in a second.
