As much as you hate them, you’ve probably got credit cards sitting in your purse or wallet right now. And we all know that gift cards have become the easy and practical present for holidays, birthdays, and every celebration in between. But what happens to those pesky little pieces of plastic after they no longer [...]
As much as we try to reduce, it seems like our recycle and trash bins still manage to slowly fill up. Rather than feel guilty, you can put your crafty skills to work and upcycle those materials into something useful! This week we’ve got projects for corrugated cardboard, empty tofu boxes, and worn out socks [...]
Last week, we took a look at craft projects for empty wine and beer bottles, scrap paper, and empty glass jars. Really though, that’s just a small part of the things we trash that can be useful again! After the jump, we’ve got some projects for empty cans, plastic bottles, and laminated cardboard, but we’d [...]
In a recent conversation I had at the 3-day Phish Festival 8 with Matt Beck, Touring Director for Phish’s charitable organization, The WaterWheel Foundation, he said something that struck me as incredibly honest and from the heart: “There’s nothing about a rock and roll concert that is sustainable when you really get down to the [...]

We love to entertain and hate to toss out anything that might prove useful later on. Of course, what that means is quite a little collection of empty wine bottles and the corks to match. Luckily, it’s time to get our Fall garden planted, and our boozy hoarding behavior might just pay off!
What do you do with those old candles that have burnt down to almost nothing, or who lost their wicks? You could toss them or you could turn them into new home made candles like Cara Hall. Cara demonstrates on her blog the Failed Feminist how to recycle your old candles into new candles like [...]
As part of the Bama Project, the Dave Matthews Band is offering a cool incentive called “SO MUCH TO SAVE” to remind concert goers to recycle. According to the band, over 1 million people will attend DMB shows this summer, and they explain: Imagine if each fan recycled just one can at each show. That’s one [...]
Upcycle an old wine bottle into an eclectic porch gas lamp… While I haven’t tried this DIY yet I think it’s my new favorite. Erik Anderson of Gerardot & Co. (a team of branding experts, creative marketers and designers) came up with this DIY when he was looking for a Tiki Style lamp to fend [...]
