You're a champion recycler; isn't it amazing what we can all do when we put our minds to it? Geraniumcat, have gleaned a few neat ideas for those left overs.

In those days we mended everything, bottles and jam jars (glass of course) were recycled automatically - usually you paid a deposit on them. Even Coca Cola bottles went back to the shop. You mended clothes of course, patching and darning and of course no food went to waste. Anything you couldn't eat went to feed the pigs and chickens. Old furniture went to the auction house, from where you bought the furniture you needed. Lovely to know you share the same spirit Elizabeth!Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-36547586251214231182008-02-18T04:42:00.000+00:002008-02-18T04:42:00.000+00:00I grew up with a mother who recycled everything be...I grew up with a mother who recycled everything before we even knew of such a word. In those days it was embarrassing to be sent to school with a sandwich wrapped in re-used foil. Now we're all at it.

It will be delicious grilled, on toast. I find it very hard to throw fabric away, but I must admit that I haven't made a cushion cover for years. Freecycle here is a bit limited - you need population density to make it work well.

And I don't think I've ever thrown anything away for the yard or garden if it's reusable, even those little plastic pots. My husband calls me a pack rat, but he's suitable impressed when I go into a closet or drawer and come up with whatever one or another of the children needs.<BR/><BR/>My favorite new thing I do is freecycle. When I have something I no longer need, I post it on the freecycle bulletin board. I've given away old clothes and shoes, hubby's old technical books, our moving boxes, and a microwave just in the past three or four months. I've also picked up a few things, like free magazines for art projects and a black light. It's very cool.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05655321325607087357noreply@blogger.com
