Big unearthing of subject (one every 2 years it seems ...) to present you a beautiful candidate for the econology awards 2010: bosch lithium ion electric corkscrew... : Shock: : Shock:

Worthy successor to the electric pruning shears of the same brand ... although the latter can still be understood in certain cases of difficult cuts ...

Any other "candidate" (that is to say "innovative and deconological" object) is welcome ... to follow in this subject ...

Yeah, don't exaggerate, all the same: TB is just an accessory. (and the craftsmen of the building have the reputation of being thirsty: I see it well in the specials that we are offered: with the purchase of X circuit breaker .... a field bottle or something like that!)

'looks balaize z'bidule. Hips! za march auzi bour the bouka of bodka? : Mrgreen: and bour the gougeon of oil of bidange?

Well, that brings me to a more in-depth reflection:
- which list would you draw up: good VS bad practices in terms of econology?
- what should a “good econologist” do in decision-making in everyday life?
- and to get there, what type of training / s should he follow to acquire advanced knowledge ...? (I think of the high school girl who opened this thread ...> for it seems, to run away running afterwards : Mrgreen: it's sure to work the others it's still ok ... but if you have to work yourself, I prefer to go to Face de book and post my portrait there !!! : Mrgreen: )

Obamot, no "substantive debate" here, just make the list of objects that you find near or far, anti econological ... that's all folks!

I came across the left-handed cork shot ...

Moué ... did you see the wooden crate provided? It is typical of a "designer" sommelier equipment ... and yes it is only an accessory but an accessory of what?

You do well to notice because it is an electric screwdriver (for double left-handed?) ... which is more a gadget than anything else (a screwdriver does better).

Nice 2 candidates in 1 ... : Mrgreen:

ps: then your remark is not valid in Belgium, the Belgian craftsmen it is rather the beer than the vinasse not? : Cheesy:

Good evening, it reminds me of something when I was in high school, in the canteen we had baskets with small sachets of seasonings, salt, pepper, ketchup, mustard, mayo, chilli, there were also sachets of silica gel with it, some people thought it was a new seasoning and put it on their plates on meat or other foods

I do not know what are the effects of silica gel in the body, we find these sachets when we buy a cell phone, shoes, or other textiles

About misuse of use ...
It happened 40 or 50 years ago in a store that sold mostly linens.
There was a guy who alone bought, supposedly for his own use, substantial quantities of Gomina (hair glue : Mrgreen: ).

This ends up intriguing the saleswoman who ends up asking him innocently what he was doing to consume as much.
The customer replied just as innocently that it was a very good and inexpensive jam and that it had always surprised him that this jam was sold in this kind of store ...

Uh it's written "do not eat" on all the bags I have had in my hands ... and on some "do not throw in nature or on fire" ... and on others "poison" ... so put some with food ... : Shock:

But apparently it's not that bad if swallowed:

Your child has ingested silica beads, what should you do?

Rest assured silica is not a toxic substance because it is not assimilated by the body.

If swallowed, give the child a drink and watch for a possible false route of the silica granules. In case of contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.

Due to the increasing use of silica gel in these different forms, emergency departments and poison control centers are receiving an increasing number of calls or admissions following ingestion of this substance by young children. .

In all cases, call your regional Poison Control Center, your doctor, or the Samu, where health professionals can give you the necessary instructions.


Pouted ... not 100% convinced ...

There is plenty to do!:

-The automatic opening bin (works with batteries ..), because it is so tiring to press the opening pedal.
- Same for the hand gel dispenser ... battery operated.
- automatic air fresheners with presence detector ... battery operated.
-brooms using wipes ... disposable.
-manual razors ... battery operated (an attic confessed!) ...
-automatic toothbrushes ... battery operated.
Non-exhaustive list ...

It's just sen-no-sen but for the "application" to be approved you need a photo of the object in question : Cheesy:
