Be smart about recycling. If you are about to throw away a glass jar consider using it for a pencil holder or as a vase for the kitchen table. In a marketplace in Mexico a few years back, I haggled with a vendor over a glass pitcher. We finally came to an agreement and I brought the pitcher home with me. After one use the bottom broke out of it. Since it was a clean break I glued it back on. Feeling a little uncertain about the pitchers ability to hold water, I decided to re-purpose it as a flower pot. Re-purposing is exciting and makes me feel inventive. As a bonus, things don't pile up in the dumpster.
