If you want to follow the rules of the art of recovery ‘wooden pallets‘For example, they have to be collected from the street. But I’ve come up against 2 problems:
- Where I am, there are very few. I’ve even scouted the industrial estate several times, but the warehouses return the pallets to the suppliers. I’ve even waited for a delivery driver to turn his back to pick one up.
- And when I found some, they disappeared while I found a transport solution.
I’ve lost 3 weeks, so you have to choose wisely. Looking for pallets takes a lot of energy. I’ve lost a lot. So I decided to buy 4 at 3 euros/pallet. I had to give myself a boost before I got demotivated.
I’m all for being green and recycling, but not at the expense of my fitness and energy. It’s the same for buying my substrate bags, where I had to cycle several kilometres to find the least chemical ones possible. Being green also means saving money. I prefer to be ‘eco-nome or eco-lo’. Respecting nature also starts with yourself.
