This mirror was made from pieces of beveled cedar siding and other scraps of molding.
These are the 32 reused barrels that are at the core of each pontoon. That totals 1,760 gallons of displacement wich is approximately 14,500lbs of discplacement.
#3924 - 2018 Day 268: There's disposal and there's recycling and there's reuse. We've been saving a few of these plastic punnets in order to reuse them. Their durability makes them useful, which is a dilemma in the current political climate. It's not surprising how widespread their use has become. But durability is of course also the reason they should never be disposed of, other than by recycling. Better still, we've now stopped buying them.
For the first envelope (along the top), I had this vision of a rainbow of strips with packing tape transfers of various scientific illustrations. Unfortunately, the transfers didn't show up as well as I was envisioning. Maybe I should have just cut them close and not used the packing tape. The bottom envelope is a different twist on reusing calendars - instead of the photo side, I used the grid side and filled in squares with various images.
For this swap we were to decorate one envelope for our partner to use, and then send that envelope to them in another decorated envelope. A decorated envelope in a decorated envelope!

At Kudos, we made the first and only disposable diaper with a 100% cotton liner. Visit: mykudos.com/blogs/news/my-experience-with-reusable-cotton... to know my experiences with reusable cotton diapers and also get the best information about reusable cotton diapers.
I love the little vinyl onesie packages for re-packing them as a gift or for shipping. The gift box in the background is recycled, too...with the same style onesie inside.
I love using MOO cards as hang-tags, too.

It's huge!
The Space Shuttle was a partially reusable low Earth orbital spacecraft system operated by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
NASA's space shuttle fleet began setting records with its first launch on April 12, 1981 and continued to set high marks of achievement and endurance through 30 years of missions. Starting with Columbia and continuing with Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour, the spacecraft has carried people into orbit repeatedly, launched, recovered and repaired satellites, conducted cutting-edge research and built the largest structure in space, the International Space Station. The final space shuttle mission, STS-135, ended July 21, 2011 when Atlantis rolled to a stop at its home port, NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
I am enthralled over these little baskets made from greeting cards...I found this one at an antique store.
Various postcards made in May, in honor of "put a bird on it" month :^)
Reused calendar cover with acrylic; various book or magazine or (Audobon) calendar clippings.
These reusable part boxes have steel reinforced sides to eliminate wood flexing, and link-locks for easy access. Observation ports to expedite customs inspections, allow inspection agents to peek in and verify the parts for combustion turbines inside without opening the container.
Pasme: em 1904, as cidades americanas já tinham latões para recolher os resÃduos para reciclar. Hoje, usamos as latas coloridas. Usamos? Se não, por favor...
As crianças sabem direitinho: na azul, papel; amarela, metal; vermelha, plástico; e na verde, vidro.
How to handle storm-damaged trees? This unique solution was spotted by Field Staffer Jim: Several years ago, I gave a presentation on recycling to the Burnt Mills Civic Association. The neighborhood had recently been hit by a large storm that had knocked down a number of large old trees. After the meeting, we walked around to look at the damage. One resident stopped and commented that the tree at this house looked like a dinosaur, very large, old and majestic. When I drove by a few weeks ago, it had been transformed into this beautiful wooden totem display – a sight to behold! Reusing something from nature for art’s sake is a win!
Reuse is fun! An old sweater with worn out cuffs, a t-shirt with a nice motif, but now too small, and a trouser with holes and no elastic anymore - turned into a new sweater!
Came out beautiful, reclaimed wood top (built by us) and reused cast iron legs, from the sinks, from a 19-teens former unwed mothers and children's home in Buffalo NY. (a side note: Why was there no home for unwed fathers?...where were they in this situation?...perhaps the Erie County Jail? Maybe a laundry where they could work off their immorality like the ladies might have been apporpriate?)
In our shop at ReUse Action (Reuseaction.com) we fabricate slabs out of the barn beams and building materials we collect from salvage, deconstruction and demolition jobs.
In this project we re-sawed old growth, 3x8 barn joists from Bath NY. They are beautiful old growth southern yellow pine that was cut down in the 1870s-1880s and was hundreds of years old at that time. These trees probably predated the American Revolution. I count about 120 rings per 8 inches!
The slab was built and finished with satin, water-based polyurethane. Nail holes, checks and divots were filled to a high level of finish with West System, clear epoxy.One can see to the bottom of the holes.
The cast iron base was reclaimed from a bathroom of the former unwed mothers and children's house on Harvard Place in Buffalo. It was built in the 19-teens and these legs were ganged together and held up back to back cast iron sinks. We stripped them and repainted them with satin enamel and dry brushed them with pewter paint to highlight the graininess and the embossed letters and other interesting details from the casting.
The distance between the legs was shortened and the threaded rods were shortened and re-threaded to match the length of the table. Matching feet were made and added to the bottom of the legs and levelers were added. The old square head nuts and bolts were saved, cleaned and re-used to preserve the original look.
It is on display in our store and available for $950 in the store. We bases to make 2 more of these, to any length and custom widths and other wood tops. See reuseaction.com
My lint art.
Yes, lint (not the bellybutton kind) the stuff you clean out of your dryer when doing the laundry.
Sold at the Near Southside Arts Goggle September 2008. Proceeds went to benefit The Women's Center of Tarrant County.
