I made this because I wanted a reuseable shopping bag that could fold up neatly and not get tangled up with all my worldly possessions in my ever-unruly everyday bag. I love how useful it is to have around, and I love how more and more people are getting used to the idea of people carrying their own reuseable bag. Fewer people give me funny looks these days!

We even give it a name... we call it RECYCLING.

Proper disposal of used cooking oil is an important waste-management concern. Oil is lighter than water and tends to spread into thin and broad membranes which hinder the oxygenation of water. Because of this, a single litre of oil can contaminate as much as 1 million litres of water. Also, oil can congeal on pipes provoking blockages.
Because of this, cooking oil should never be dumped in the kitchen sink or in the toilet bowl. The proper way to dispose of oil is to put it in a sealed non-recyclable container and discard it with regular garbage.
Cooking oil can be recycled. It can be used to produce soap and biodiesel.
Bird feeded. Out of a plastic bucket. =) In Nova Scotia, the bucket would have been recyclable, but here it's not. So it's nice to see it put to use!
makes me kind of sad to see. it's going to be houses apparently, but unless they have awesome art all over them, it won't be the same.
i had felted swatches hanging around and decided that something should be done with them. my stitching leaves a lot to be desired but i do think that in concept they're kind of cute.

The base of this tree is the base of a computer mouse. The trunk is made from a cable which consisted of several wires sheathed in coloured plastic, all wrapped in a shield of fine wires (which become the thin twigs at the top). The rest of the roots and branches are thicker wires which also wrap the trunk and hold it in place. The catkins are resistors.
Sustainable reuse design at the University of Gothenburg. "The Corridor" is a long, wide hallway bridge between buildings. We were asked to create usable space within the corridor resulting in 1) The Post Office, 2) The Book Exchange, and 3) The Library.
All furnishings are 100% reused and repurposed materials.

I can attest to no sightings of either on my early morning visit, but I did catch a lovely moon above the apartment block.

I got a free reusable bag with my purchase! I wish more stores would do that on the islands. I find it surprising how many plastic bags are used there. One of the top killers of the sea turtle is plastic shopping bags.

Two skirts thrifted for the fabric!
Updated: The pink skirt became the lining of a bag.
The green skirt became the dress for a doll pillow and the lining for a Christmas stocking.
Approx. 10.5 x 13 inches. These are bags I made for a cloth diaper service in Atlanta to provide as welcome gifts to new customers!

Pictured here are the recycling bins in Carroll. This adds to making the building green because it gives the students a chance to reuse and recycle their trash.
I was invited to a Christmas lunch where we exchanged gifts. The theme of the gift exchange was ‘reduce, reuse, and recycle.’ To stick to the theme, I picked out a cookbook from my collection that I thought would be a perfect gift. I wrapped it in a festive new tea towel that will be used later. As an embellishment, I added a wooden spoon and whisk from my kitchen. I used a ribbon from another project to wrap it all up. The recipient was an avid cook and was overjoyed with the gift.
I drafted the bag piece based on the instructions found at earth girl fabrics, but I lined the bag completely to make it sturdier rather than just facing it. It's fully reversible and these two are identical - so one shows "side A" and one shows "side B". It took me two hours to draft the pattern, iron the fabric, cut the bag, and sew it together - a lighting fast project for me. They are getting a ton of use and I have already made another one. I hope to finally stem the tide of plastic sacks I am acquiring.
I first sewed the side A pieces together at the sides and bottom, and then likewise sewed the side B pieces together at the sides and bottom. Then I placed the two sides right sides together and sewed around the curves, leaving about a two inch gap at the top of three of the four handles and about a 6 inch gap at the top of the fourth handle. Then I pulled the bag right-side-out, pulling three of the handles through the fourth 6-in-gap handle. Then I sewed the top of each side A handle to the top of its corresponding side A handle (bag still right-side out but twisting the tops to be right sides together while I was sewing), and I did the same to the tops of the side B handles. During this step I made sure I joined the handle tops spanning the seam - so joining handles on different sides of the bag, NOT joining the handle tops on one side of the bag to one another, and the same on the other side of the bag together. Finally, I tucked the raw, exposed handle edges inward and top-stitched around the top edges to close the gaps and tidy things up.
