i koristila kad zatreba.
and then use it when it was needed.
whether it was tying up the roses
ili deo na mom biciklu,
vratila bi ga u teglu.
it'd go back into the jar.

we got rid of the old one.
otarasili stare igračke.
it's great in the moment,
sjajna stvar u datom trenutku,
as we keep doing this,
ako nastavimo sa time,
there is really no way.
it typically goes into a landfill.
to obično ode na deponiju.
which is not going to go away,
što neće nestati,
1.3 billion tons of material every year

about four billion tons.
biće oko četiri milijarde tona.
if we started thrifting.
ja bih da počnemo da štedimo.
when they go into products
kada se od njih prave proizvodi,
kada se mogu ponovo upotrebiti.
When can they be used again?
the way we think about waste,
način razmišljanja o otpadu,
the word "waste" completely.
da obratimo pažnju su resursi.

that have been developed for the smart age
koje su razvijene za novo doba

reuse and also thrift more proficiently.
over the last couple of decades
are getting smart at thrifting,
i da profitiraju na njemu.
to understand this concept

je arhitektonska industrija.
with architecture has always been
oduvek je bio taj što,
ne razmišljamo o njenom rasturanju.
about taking down.
we don't disassemble, we demolish.
ne rastavljamo, već rušimo.
of all landfill waste in the US
na deponijama u SAD-u

smanjiti količinu ovog materijala.
from old demolition waste,
od starog otpada od rušenja,
the rubble, the concrete.

da napravimo još građevina.
onoga što nam je potrebno.
and geotagging,
i geooznačavanja to možemo promeniti
kada je reč o izgradnji.
when it comes to buildings.
which is being demolished,
postoji zgrada koja se ruši,
being built here can use?
za novu zgradu koja se gradi ovde?

in that building are still usable?
u toj zgradi još mogu iskoristiti?
into a new building,
any value in the process?
u tom procesu?
o drugim industrijama.
to create thrift?
da ostvare štednju?
that there are plenty of industries
about their own waste
that they basically belch out
an awful lot of carbon dioxide.
