The best Reuse newsletters

Daniel Vélez's Milkman Model newsletter mixes analysis of reuse, refill and recycling systems with personal essays on politics, democracy and technology. Readers get a point-of-view writer's takes on authoritarianism, political violence and generative AI, often framed around his own experience.

Julie Kearns writes about reuse, material inquiry and community-based systems, mixing studio notes on found materials with reflections on how a secondhand retail business can be redesigned around redistribution and social good. Readers get a personal, reflective account of building an ethical reuse practice amid economic and climate pressures.
