Technology has long been an essential consideration in public
discussions of the environment, with the focus overwhelmingly on
creating new tools and techniques. In more recent years, however,
activists, researchers, and policymakers have increasingly turned
to mobilizing older technologies in their pursuit of
sustainability. In fascinating case studies ranging from the Early
Modern secondhand trade to utopian visions of human-powered
vehicles, the contributions gathered here explore the historical
fortunes of two such technologies-bicycling and waste
recycling-tracing their development over time and providing
valuable context for the policy successes and failures of today.
