I reposted ‘Open Source ≠ DIY’ on the forum under ‘Resources & Introductions>What is Open Source’ to help clear up some confusion.
Maybe @sharmarval @TechnicalNature or others could write a similar explanation for ‘Circular Economy ≠ Upcycling’?
It would be good to have a quick & easy link to post when an event starts looking a bit too upcycly… I find it quite a good approach to have a general post as a resource, because the post can lay out the issue in a quite straightforward ‘here are the facts’ way, without pointing the finger specifically at the person or project who you are trying to constructively criticize. It makes it clear that the argument is not ad hominem.
Whenever we want to convince someone to think about CE in a deeper way, we can write them a short, polite, personal message, which ends with ‘for more information check out this post(link)’.
