All really neat and viable ideas. Anyway that something can be recycled in a reusable/repurposed way without further damaging the environment is tops in my book. Just one small thing can make a big difference.

Fabulous creative ideas that may not work for everyone but every little bit helps...anything to create awareness. Check out "reuse centers" in your area, a growing trend of centers which collect reusable business discards and donate the items back to kids, educators, and artists, look for one in your area.

If you like this - look into "fibercrete". It's an old idea that works. Paper recycled into cement.

This is a great site. Thanks for all the wonderful things you are doing plus, at the S.C.R.A.P. Gallery (Student Creative Recycle Art Program)we have thousands of cd containers and one more idea of how to reuse them always helps! Look out for a new crop of green!

Found this story on Digg. The cardboard bridge is amazing.

The newspaper insulation in the house wouldn't work very well anywhere there were cockroaches, as "wild" cockroaches live in between tree bark, so they love cardboard and newspaper. Your house would become a cockroach house. And God forbid there was a fire. I don't even want to think about it.

I guess there are some thing you could do in this list. I mean, the CD case greenhouse is one such example, and I will be doing something similar this summer (provided it's sunny, not flooding this year!) This said, I am going to modify the design from a black roof to a transparent roof...

Great list. Are there any practical ideas that everyday people can use to reuse their waste?

i am all for saving the environment, but let's face it. being "active" is a huge trend right now amoungst impressionable youth. for instance, i see 15 year olds with "vote for change" shirts and "barack and roll" shirts all around town.

the way these things are designed they seem to be pretty stylish AND help the environment. however, 10 ball point black ink pens being sold at £10, this very well could just be one of the best marketing schemes ever.

Coin purses make great media but they have no application to real-world environmental concerns. Yuppie lip service. Let's get real.
