Reduce, Re-use, Recycle & Replace | Forum profile

Hiya, I'm not sure if this is the right topic for this - feel free to move admin! I work with quite a few people who don't recycle. One chap is 'too stuck in his ways' to bother, and the rest are too lazy. We have a recycling bin not more than 5 paces away from any one desk, but getting up seems to be too much for some. I have asked about why certain people don't ...

Or if you got a sainsburys/morrisons near by etc its 5 for 50p.... I seem to think they are trying to get rid of them for some reason... is there something wrong with the blubs? _________________ Grenergy - the ways of green living in the modern home http://leo-saphira.blogspot.com/

I never knew that about old and new material but it doe make total sense. I am such a horder and try to find uses for everything, I had a few old surf tees that either had stains on them or were to small but I loved them so much I couldn't part with them. Well I cut the images off and sewed them onto a camping cusion I made over summer. That way I get to enjoy my t-shirts all over again ...

I like the sound of the large pillow/bean bag thing! Well done you!

LOL was just going to ask you if you had raided the Christmas choccies already but then you mentioned Halloween LOL but thats good to know. I dont know anywhere that there is an aluminium foil collection, will have to look that out.

You may have thought of it already but if you roll the pillow up it makes a good filling for a bolster cushion. Will keep my thinking hat on for other ideas . _________________ What price are we paying for the world being so small?

Or stocks or sauces...

not too sure on what is in greeseproof paper.I wouuld probably shred it up and use in my paint/paper mixture. I've only used it these days for plastic bag ironing/welding. Might be worth talking at Alt Tech Centre at Hebden Bridge as I notice you are W Yorks based

I know just what you mean. But it's true, if I clear something out, I find I need it once it is gone and yet it as sat there all that time Just been up in the loft looking at what we are keeping......

Was it a series or a one off programme like Build a New Life in the Country or something similar
