I save all cardboard boxes or containers and use the scraps for cutting out my dies from my Big Shot machine.

One of my favorite ways to recycle is to use all that plastic packaging (acetate)that so many things come in, I use it for “windows” for my cards and boxes, some of it is pretty small, but for cardmaking it is perfect! I know this is a “late” post, but my idea is so “green”….LOL!

I was recently visitng a friend and I was inspired by just all the things she recycles. It made me come home and try to do more.

I lvoe your use of the dryer sheet!

Superb use of trash to treasure goodies! I just love seeing the creative genius that people come up with! Hooray for Hero Arts going green!!!

I’m a pretty “green” person and so is our 12 year old son…actually, he gets after us sometimes and is talking about wanting a set-up that collects rain water and these lights that turn off when a person leaves a room. While I’m an avid recycler and re-purposer, I haven’t quite moved to having all of our lights and lamps re-fitted with the new energy light bulbs, of which my husband is a big advocate. So…this is something that I can actually do today (or tomorrow…as its mid-night EST) since we already have them! Way-to-go HA…for providing such an eco-friendly challenge!!! Right on! (Now I’m dating myself!!!)

My latest green effort involves saving money and time too!!

I have set up a large plastic link chain in the garage as a hanging rack for laundry. It is light and easy to put up and down, I can hang clothes directly onto the hangers (so they don’t need ironing), and as each hanger slots into a chain link, they stay apart instead of sliding on the line.

This means I can really cut down on my use of the dryer this wet winter

One thing I’ve known for a while that I need to do is to stop using my garbage disposal so much and start composting (but it’s so convenient, ya know?)

Okay, okay, I’ve put it on my to do list: find a container to hold scraps to compost. It’ll get done this week!

We do a lot of recycling in our home but I haven’t started using cloth bags for my shopping. That’s one thing I can start doing.
I appreciate that HA is very “green”!
Of course, I promote that by buying HA stamps!!!
WTG HA!

I’m using even the smallest scraps of paper for cards and school assignments. I also turn every cardboard box (say, from cereal) into ATC or inchie blanks to make my artwork and recycle envelopes
