The Dutch company Blade-Made is taking pieces from old wind turbines that cannot be recycled and transforming them into benches, playgrounds and tiny homes. Turning a turbine nacelle (protective housing for components) into a 376-square-foot house is “basically the most complex thing you can do with it,” Blade-Made co-founder Jos de Krieger told CNN, but other projects are “easier to imagine and to realize.” Wind turbines are operational for about 25 years, and Blade-Made envisions its innovative upcycling as a solution for tackling turbine waste.

A British bus driver says he cannot provide receipts for tax deductions he had claimed because they were all eaten by rats. His inability to show proof of purchase for items like personal protective equipment he allegedly bought in 2019 means Moses Makuna must pay $40,000 in fines to the government. And even if he did have the receipts, a judge ruled, they were “not necessary to his role as a bus driver,” said The Telegraph.
