Hello friends of steemit I want to tell you something that I find very important, a few days ago I got a strange padlock in the trash, it caught my attention and I took it to my house, I cleaned and sanded it.
I left it totally clean and went to a locksmith's shop (where they repair padlocks, locks and duplicate keys), asked what kind of padlock it is and what is its use and if they could give it the key, they think that they told me there that if can make the key and that this padlock is more than 30 years old, it is called longbow and has several uses but the most common is in the safety of motorcycles. That day I learned that most locks and locks can be repaired or made the key.
I left it in the morning in the locksmith in the afternoon it was ready and for a very low price like 10% of the real price of a similar lock, it was fully functional, open and close as if it were new.
Sometimes, because we do not know, we throw things away, before throwing something away, it is good to investigate if it is repaired or if it can be recycled.
I hope they learn to recycle or repair things before they are discarded, it is important for our planet.
