"Machete made out of an old lawn mower blade. Handle is re-purposed wood and cord is reused from another machete." - Savanna S.

“One way to reuse old t-shirts is to make a blanket out of them! According to the EPA, in 2010 Americans discarded 13.1 million tons of textiles. 15% was recycled.” – Destiny G. Source:   triplepundit.com/2012/01/ tectile-waste-be-banned- landfills

Our packaged food can serve a dual purpose because their containers live far longer than their contents. So the next time you buy jam or tea, keep the container!

"This is an ottoman/ floor "pouf" that I made this summer before coming to college. I had too many t-shirts and needed a way to get rid of them. So I turned the shirts into yarn by cutting them and came up with a way to knit/crochet them together. I filled it with the rest of the scraps from those t shirts and some old towels. In total it took 20 cotton t shirts to make and a few weeks of work!" - Genevieve P.
