Reduce waste with some creativity


Two more of Audrey's creative ideas. These wave-polished bricks picked up by Audrey along the beach were turned into attractive plant pots. Fashioned by nature, they could have been litter on the beach but see how they have been cleverly recycled as useful objects. On the right, a bottle encrusted with barnacles was recycled into a vase. If we are conscious about the need to reduce waste, we will find that there are many objects in our house that could likewise be converted for other uses. Unfortunately, most of us find it easier to throw things away in the trash than to spend some time to think about how we can reduce our trash.
