...complete with super powers (saving the environment one plastic bag at a time).
The most awesome reusable shopping bags ever.

Somehow she knew I had Batgirl issues. :)
This school was doing a fundraiser to buy reusable trays for their school. Apparently the school uses 1400 foam trays every day! crazy if you think how many schools there are that also may be doing the same thing.
This restaurant opened in November 2011 and reused a former Bennigan's that closed in 2008. The restaurant (owned by a franchisee of other Ground Round locations in Pennsylvania) failed to pay rent totaling over $91,000 and was locked out in August 2013.
Ground Round once operated at the site where the now deserted Eat N Park restaurant sits. That location was open from 1994 to 2004 when all company-owned locations closed and was later demolished.

Logo on the plastic bag in which our carryout order from Culver's Restaurant (in Nies, Michigan) was delivered. It needs to be stressed that "resuable" and "recyclable" are far from the same thing. The bag was manufactured by Command Packaging (of Vernon, California), a company that touts their "environmentally friendly" products.
Philadelphia Water and a broad group of partners interested in protecting our rivers, parks and planet gathered on the Schuylkill River on Friday, Oct. 23 to announce a new network of drinking water stations along the Schuylkill River Trail. The water bottle filling stations/fountains will help fight pervasive single-use water bottle litter found along the Schuylkill River by making it easy to use refillable bottles. Philadelphia Water also partnered with Head of the Schuylkill Regatta to give away over 12,000 reusable water bottles.
Speakers and guests included: Mayor Michael Nutter, Councilman Curtis Jones, Jr’s Chief of Staff, Josh Cohen, Deputy Mayor for Environmental and Community Resources Michael DiBerardinis, Philadelphia Water Commissioner Howard Neukrug, Chair of the Schuylkill Navy River Stewards Committee Alan Robinson, Captain of the Water Initiative for the HOSR Deirdre Mullen, Commodore of the Schuylkill Navy Paul Horvat, President/Co-director of Head of the Schuylkill Regatta Ellen Carver.
4th Grade Students from FS Edmonds Elementary School also took the #DrinkTapPHL pledge to “Choose to Reuse” and were given refillable bottles to take home.
I made a reusable grocery bag by fusing used plastic grocery bags into a more durable material. I used the fused material like fabric to sew this bag together. This is the first time I'm made something with a sewing machine. I think it turned out alright, seems very durable, each piece is six sheets fused together. It took me about 5 hours I think, I lose track of time whenever I'm making something. Someone with more skill than me could make just about anything out of the fused material. Seems like a good use for those plastic bags.
This store was originally a Britt's discount store that later became Kmart until 2003. This building has since been subdivided into Best Buy, Dunham's, and T.J.Maxx. Of the three only Best Buy does not have direct mall access.
The Findlay Village Mall opened in 1962 with a JCPenney and Britt's discount store as anchors. Sears built a store in 1963. In the late 1980s the mall underwent a major renovation that involved adding a new wing with an Elder-Beerman store and reusing the old Britt's store as a Kmart. In 2003 the mall lost Kmart (now Best Buy, Dunham's, and T.J.Maxx)and Sears closed in March 2014. Currently many sections of the mall have a notable amount of vacancies.

since I have been back in Georgia, I have been quite amazed by the very decentralized and non-organized efforts to recycle and reuse. There is much less trash then before, and partially that is because of the city hall's efforts, but a lot of it is due to the poverty. Poverty is not a laughing matter and all of those people deserve a better life. But it's intriguing how bottles get recycled and reused. And, not just bottles, anything that can be reused, is reused. People dig through garbage looking for bottles, men with carts walk around looking for empty bottles. This man was collecting aluminum cans and flattening them. I am not sure what he needed them for, but him doing that, is probably better than those cans being in the garbage.
On the other note, I remember around Christmas time, one of the Russian TV channels ran an ad for the "most civilized" vessel, aluminum can. I remember hearing that Germany banned aluminum cans as they are supposedly an environmental desaster... It's funny how civilization works...
I think one of the first things women may think about is that they might be spending more than disposable pads and tampons on reusable menstrual products. While this used to always be the case, there has been a huge increase in quality and business for these kinds of menstrual cups and period panties so prices have dropped substantially over the years. You can really save a lot of money by switching to reusable sanitary pads or menstrual cups since you no longer need to worry about buying them every month or every other month! The second benefit is that reusable sanitary pads feel better than disposable ones because they're not full of chemicals. Reusable sanitary pads can also come in many styles like thongs for light days, overnight pads, panty liners and even pads with wings!
Many mothers are concerned about the environment and do what they can to help save it. This is because many people are unaware of the impact that daily waste has on the environment. Many women know that they should use reusable pads or cloth diapers but there is some question as to which type will qualify. The greatest amount of waste created over a woman's lifetime consists of disposable feminine products. Some family members think making Best Reusable Pads would be too much work so mothers continue to buy tampons, pads, and panty liners using plastic applicators adding unnecessarily to the landfill crisis. Many families recycle cans and bottles for extra cash so this may be something small you can do with your children to teach them about saving our Earth!

After creating a custom set of rear sets for my Ducati Monster, I didn’t want to trash the original rear sets because they are OEM Ducati parts. The OEM rear sets are huge awkward three-dimensional cast aluminum pieces. Not adjustable, and just plain ugly. But then again they were designed back in the early ’90. After letting them lay on the floor for a few months, I came up with an idea. I painted them black and took some large drywall anchor bolts and mounted them on the wall. I put an old set of pairs back on them, and there it was! A genuine Ducati Coat Rack. After hanging my race suit, a shop apron, and a few other random items on it. Covered up, the OEM rear sets made a great coat rack! I’ve have had guys comment on how cool my new coat rack is...
It's the Flame Skipper- proboscis, the spiral thingie it uses to sip nectar by uncurling it down to the bottom of the flower where the nectar is. It 11 can also completely curl it up under its "chin" when done.

As Buckminster Fuller said "Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting", and we think of waste in the same way. So lets start viewing waste as a resource and re-thinking the items we throw away. Visit AltUse.com for tips on alternative uses for your waste items.

Love this picture of an old pink 2CV car reused as a big flowerpot!
