Recycling is becoming one of the most important things we as a society need to do more in order to preserve our planet. Because of the vast amount of resources being used every day, we are only increasing our footprint for future generations. While it’s not possible to make everyone an avid 'green' enthusiast, there are a few things you can do at home with your goods instead of throwing them away.
- For empty cans, take off the labels and wrap them in something soft. If you can, line the rim with something to protect you and loved ones from the sharp edges, and place them together. You have stationary and kitchen supply holders that can be transformed to match any room!
- Old plastic bottles? How about a fun bowling set for the kids? When finished, rinse them out and remove the labels. With yarn and spray adhesive, you can wrap the bottles in any color you wish, and use an old ball as the ‘bowling ball’. Best of all, this safe game can be played indoors on a rainy day!
- You can make a great DIY sprinkler from old pens and a plastic bottle. Simply take an old bottle and create holes about the size of the pen (we recommend carefully softening each area of plastic with a lighter and pressing the pen through). You can use some glue or caulk to hold them in place, and do the same for the hose. Pop a hole through the cap, and affix the hose head to it. Do this with about 15 pen caps, placing 5 on each side, and 5 on the top. You’ll have a cheap sprinkler for the grass, and the kids!
