Trash to Treasure: Three Easy D.I.Y. Projects You Can Do!
Face it: either you’re a proud slob or you’re trying hard not to be one. Either way, chances are that stuff keeps on piling up and you’re looking for somewhere to put it, and chucking it out is just a waste of perfectly good stuff. And they don’t have to be lame accessories either. Here are a few examples:
1. “Re-Mix” An Old T-Shirt: Cut your stuff up rather than buy it already cut, an absurd concept to begin with. And sewing doesn’t have to be patchwork pants; you can punk it up, cut the neck line out, or take two t-shirts and sew ‘em together. Better than spending thirty bucks on a new t-shirt.
2. CD Coasters: You’re just stealing music from the Internet anyways! Pretty soon you can use DVDs too!
3. Restring Your Jewelry: Because most likely your jewelry is already pretty ugly, so you might as well create new, ugly jewelry instead of buying more
These are some we just thought off the top of our head, and they save you money and stress. It’s liberating to rip it up and start again. Try it yourself, and give us more ways to tear up your past and start over again.

Im all for protecting the Environment but i think this idea isnt very good because by reducing how much we buy...that still means supermarkets and shops will have leftover food that will need 2 be Thrown away so we may aswell buy what we want and make sure it is being consumed instead of leaving it all to go to waste!!
Leigh, yeah I agree, that's a concern. But people always need to eat, so I think we'll still buy things from grocery stores. As far as shops, stuff left on shelves will convince factories not to make as much next time.
