How about senior citizen homes (some have libraries) or homeless shelters?<br />Love the use of Nature's bounty! :)Pamela K.

Can hold mixes, beans, pasta, beads, candies, etc.<br /><br />--Use Nature's bounty as decorating material for holidays. You can spray paint pine cones, use leaves for stencils or as part of a collage, dry flowers and put in vases, etc. (Don't pick wildflowers, though. And watch out for bugs.)<br /><br />--Don't trim your lawn to death. Cut it high and let it lie.<br /><br />--Any of those old CDs (like the ones AOL used to send out all the time) lying around? You can paint or collage them into ornaments.<br /><br />--Garbage-disposal units are energy-inefficient and non-eco-friendly. Consider composting.<br /><br />--Plant non-invasive species. (Not exactly recycling but a good idea.)<br /><br />--Sick of (some of) your clothes but nothing really wrong with them? Hold a swap session with similarly-size friends. (Non-compatible sizes can swap accessories.)<br /><br />Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
