In these days and times when excesses are at an all time high, it is critical to recycle. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I must admit I have been a recycler of things for years. \u00c2\u00a0I often share my items I want to recycle by placing them at the side of the road in front of my house with a sign that says \u00e2\u20ac\u0153free to a good home.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I have the most interesting conversations with people who – often out of curiosity – come to the door and ask about the items before taking them.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My most recent ventures in recycling is to take men\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ties and used wine bottles to create new items\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.namely pocketbooks and bottle lamps. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have a link here to both of these above\u00c2\u00a0in case you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to see what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m doing to encourage and support recycling while having fun and being creative.
