Repurposing to find a home for my little Mexican Cigar plant seedling. I might have to buy some more cans, I've got a whole lot of seedlings looking for a home :)

Sea anemones are beings halfway between vegetable and animal, populating the sea since more than 600 million years ago. After working for more than two years reusing paper, this lamps series are the first works created by reusing discarded plastic bottle tops. Every anemona design is a unique handicraft that will never be repeated. The colours and optical properties of the plastic tops used are chosen to give the best final result

One of the pieces at a special exhibit of the work of Shih Chieh Huang, an artist based out of Taipei. He takes objects like discarded plastic bags, old computer fans and motion detectors to create pieces that move and "breathe" in accordance with movement around them. On exhibit at the Worcester Art Museum.
This is another butterfly shot taken on Via Sperlonga, Vico Equense. It's a little dark, but I liked the butterfly just beginning to reel in its proboscis after feeding! They look very unwieldy hoses.
This is a skipper, a Mediterranean skipper I think after a quick look around at some other folks' photos. My butterfly books don't cover Italy.

We bought these reusable, washable produce bags from Earth's General Store. Another great way to reduce plastic use!
I have windows for the sides as well and am just waiting for some hinges I bought on ebay to arrive to set them up. However, I may leave them off for the summer to avoid cooking my plants in a solar oven.
I still need to add some trim, particularly on the bottom window frame on the right. I also need some hardware to keep the windows from swinging when left open and some handles.
A PVC pipe bike trailer I built in an afternoon. I scavenged the tire and some metal from an old kids bike. The total cost was around $40, but in hindsight I could have done it for less.

Here's a view of my 127 film slitter with the lid open. It's impossible to see, but in the lower left there is the corner of a razor blade sticking up. (see my next photo for details)
The wire form on the right is used to keep the coiled roll of 120 film under control while pulling the film through the box.
The felt is used to keep from scratching the film, and also to hopefully remove dust as it goes.
It will be important to keep this felt clean, as a spec of sand or foreign object could put a scratch on the entire length of film. Not good.
Thanks for all the repostings of this image! It's been on Stir, Squidoo, GrowingGreenFamily, and more.
You can get this bag from Zazzle as item 149911671300626787 from Populational.
We decided early on in the build that we would try to reuse or recycle as much as we could. With many of our friends here developing properties we decided to put out an appeal for surplus materials that would otherwise have been discarded. As a result we've managed to collect over half the tiles we need. A big thank you to Dave Golding and Dave & Fiona. Tesselating them together will be a challenge but it will be very satisfying if we succeed.
A big thanks to another friend, Maja, for helping us prevent this iron gate from going into landfill
Crochet pattern for a reusable (and eco-friendly) swiffer cover. Use the textured side for the dry mop and then reverse it to use the other side to wet mop.
From an Apartment Therapy house tour. Created using a drum stool, two layers of plywood and wood stain. Great DIY or greatest DIY? Can't decide.

Upgraded boxes like this, can be reused many times because of the protective hardware. The handles and recessed linklocks help the end user handle the shipment with ease.
