Creative? Enter the Art of ReUse

A huge part of being ‘green’ is giving & reusing products so they have a second life.

The Art of ReUse by Green is Universal & Etsy encourage participants to submit simple & creative ways to give unwanted items a second life.

Unfortunately, I prefer stealing other people’s green ideas rather than coming up with my own.

Readers, get on it! Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to win a gift card or trip to Orlando (or at least have me steal your brilliant idea…)
