Circularity in Your City

I captured this photo of a chicken coop at the Bazian plant in Iraq. This is wry example of upcycling materials that might otherwise have been discarded, in order to make a very comfortable home for the resident hens. Happy hens make tasty eggs – a lesson that we can all learn about the accomodation we design for modern living – and when this good homebuilding takes advantage of circularity it is good for both the residents and the planet.
