Presto Chango: What do you reuse?


Recycling is great, but reusing is even better. Reusing extends an object's lifespan which means less resources are wasted on producing new objects and less waste ends up in a landfill.

Here are a few things that I reuse:

old towels --> rags
bread bags --> produce savers
hummus containers --> leftover storage
egg cartons --> bring back to farmer (so he can reuse!)
ziploc bags --> wash and use again
rubber bands
twist ties

Everyone has their reuse magic tricks. We want to hear some of yours!

Green Porno Lights Up the Night
















Sexy as flashing tubes of neon and strange as the actress herself, Isabella Rossellini's Green Porno series, produced for Sundance, is my new obsession.

2. turn off the lights
3. take a sexy quiz to find out which insect you are
4. (different moods may yield different answers)
5. click 'watch green porno'
6. pick the insect you are
7. prepare to have your mind blown
