In the interest of "being green" I found a few ideas of things you don't have to trash, you can re-use them! Remember if we each only do one thing it will make a big difference, just think how much better things will be if we each did 2 or 3 things!?!
Wine corks
- Wrap them together with a wire and you have a nice new trivet! I bet it is a great converstation starter too!
- Arrange them inside a "frame" some can stand on end, some can lay down - glue them in place and you have a bulletin board! Perfect for the kitchen!
Table Cloth - have a stained one? Cut around the stain and make napkins!
When your loofah is headed to the trash use it one last time to scrub the tub, shower and tile!
Scratched or old CD's or DVD's
- Glue them to the back of your child's bike as a safety reflector.
- Use as a "mirror" in an office to check your reflection or as a way to see behind you as you sit at your desk (if the door is behind you).
- Reflectors to warn off woodpeckers.
- String a couple together to make a sun catcher.
- Create a clock but adding clock works to the center hole.
One last thougth for this "green" day - if you recycle your Sunday paper every week you will keep 4 trees alive per year and increase the earth's oxygen!
Live Green!

I like the ideas. I have seen the cork/trivet idea in a few stores here in Orlando. Anything we can do to help the environment!
