1. A #Thread concerning three years of #5 plastic.

This pile looked crazy and messy!

In a typical American home, all of this would end up in the landfill.

Let's see what I can do with a few phone calls.

2. First call: local homeless shelters who serve meals.

They we're excited for containers for meals.

Typical cost of new take-away meal containers can range from $1 each to $2.50.

Recycle containers & savings for non-profit.

3. A few hangers from my house shoes.

I LOVE this brand, but I really wish @Dearfoams house shoes didn't come with these hangers.

Used clothing store in town needs them to hang up ties, belts, and scarves.

4. Next up, @OlaySkin bottles (tops: remove insert)

These are my favorite acrylic paint bottles. The paint peels right off when dry.

@OlaySkin bottles are also good to use for small items & organization of nuts & bolts in a shop.

5. Some random containers with tops.

Some will be donated to homeless shelters that serve food and some will be used in my garage, and some will become "Southern Tupperware"

6. I'm still organizing some of the #5 plastic.

Only a small % of the plastic will be recycled vs repurposed / reused.

This is important b/c the cost of making something new is an important concern in the conservation equation.

7. It takes time, effort, and our voices to make conservation a priority for our communities, but when we all work together, we can change the world!
