Discarded face masks upcycled into stools
South Korean designer Haneul Kim has collected thousands of used disposable face masks from his university campus and recycled them to create a stackable stool. Called Stack and Stack, the project hopes to set an example for how the 129 billion single-use face-masks that the world goes through every month during the coronavirus pandemic can be diverted from ending up in landfill and in our oceans. https://www.dezeen.com/2021/01/06/haneul-kim-stack-stool-face-masks-design/

Go For Launch
It’s go for launch.  A real pleasure to support local space industry companies that are taking us our of this world ???? There is no sovereign manufacturer of solid rocket propellant and subsequently solid rocket motors (SRM’s) in Australia, which means all SRM’s are currently imported. Our project with Black Sky Aerospace proposes to manufacture solid rocket propellant and SRM’s locally for the civilian market initially (export and defence markets to follow) at far more economical prices and with quicker turnaround times. See the project here https://www.amgc.org.au/project/solid-fuel-rocket-propellant-and-solid-rocket-motors/ #MfgNow
