Over summer I started to write a fictional summary of an if-this-goes-on story set in my hometown in 2050.

I'm doing this as a way to get an idea of the future of waste rather than to write a book. A bit of fun.

Below is part 1 - the backgrounder. Part 2 will be next week.

If-this-goes-on stories
Works of waste prophecy part 1: Octavia E. Butler’s prophetic Parable predicted the catastrophic wildfires of 2024 LA. Have any fictional works predicted the if-this goes-on future of waste?

I’ve deleted two tech bro platform social media accounts. I’d like to do the rest by end-2025. As a comms person, it’s not an easy decision. A lot of the waste and circular economy people I follow aren’t here. And, I’ll miss looking back on the garden’s progress over the years. Like the hothouse…

Big morning. Boss of the Hot Sauce and my favourite person in the world, @msjackiecooper.bsky.social proposed to me on the top of Mount Buninyong. We are now, as she puts it, ‘fionsed’. ❤️

The Circularity 2024 conference started in Sydney this morn. Wish I was there.

I spent a few weeks listening to the Circularity 2023 recordings. I puzzled the info together into 10 themes. A bit of a circular economy 101.

A cut and sewed a bathrobe out of old towels while listening in.

Tuesday Trash Talk is five months old.

I kicked it off in May this year to learn about what’s happening in waste, to find out where the good people are.

I made the commitment to do it for a year. It’s fun. I got to go on a tour of the Wagga Wagga tip shop.
