Ideas? Recycling?

What neat ideas do you have to cut down on the amount of household wastage? Have you come up with any little tricky ways of recycling things in your home?
Here are a few i thought of….
Gardening Pillows……Use those plastic bags you inevitably end up bringing home when you forget to take your cloth ones shopping by stuffing an old pillow case full of them ( overstuffing works best) and stich it shut…this creates ideal pillows to cushion your knees when working in the garden.
Old records….place the record atop a heat proof bowl and heat at full in the oven, the record will melt and create a cool bowl for any use..( under pot plants, fruit bowl, etc..)
Paper….pulp and set in brick molds use in the fireplace….
Wogga Rugs…use old woolen clothes to make big thick blankets( 2-3) layers all darned together and put in doona cover…
Rag mats…
I have heaps more..if you are interested email me…
Can you share anything you do?
Thanking you!

I do all the usuals. I also pick up garbage when I walk my dog, and I make sure my husband and son don’t throw away anything in the garbage if it cand be recycles. I teach my adult ESL students the word “recycle” right away, we recycle in the classroom, I am proactive in stores, teaching anyone who will listen to look for the little triangle on the bottom of bottles of soaps and prescription bottles, etc, because that means it is recyclable (it is amazing how many people don’t know that), I guess my main thing, other than the usual active recycling, is being a teacher. I can’t help it, I talk a lot when it is something important!
