In researching additional info for yesterday’s Kitchen Hint, I stumbled across a blog with lots of great ideas and information on repurposing – using/reusing an old or familiar item in a new way. Repurposing (and it’s close cousin ‘upcycling’) is the second choice on the Reduce-Reuse-Recycle icon.
Check it out at Repurposeful blog. Here are a few ideas from their archives that caught my eye:
- The short person’s savior: Kitchen tongs
- WD-40… apparently it fixes more than squeaky doors
- Upcycling old tees into clothes for kids and Add new life to old clothes: Refashion
- A pickle of a problem: How to reuse leftover pickle juice
- You asked for it: What to do with an old garden hose
- Another way to collect water
- You asked for it: Natural rabbit repellents and Deer problem in your yard?
