| Every city and town should have a center for creative reuse. It makes so much sense. Let's keep things out of the landfill. It is just such a great idea. We have SCRAP here in San Francisco and I took a little field trip over to the East Bay to visit The Depot for Creative Reuse. |
 |
| I'm all for creative reuse (as you already know). |
 |
| The fun starts right out on the sidewalk....books anyone? |
 |
| Nicely organized store with lots of things to ponder a use for.... |
 |
| Lots of books inside too..... |
 |
| It is just amazing to me all the STUFF that exists on our planet Earth...and I am happy to see some folks are really trying to limit what goes in to the landfill. |
 |
| My favorite color is green! Did they know? |
 |
| Definitely better to use all these pens than toss them away.... |
 |
| I don't actually sew....but I love old wooden spools of thread....and a pal is going to help me learn how to thread my sewing machine so I can sew some mail-art envelopes. (Right, Dorothy?) |
 |
| Check and see if there is a Center for Creative Re-use in your town -- or in a spot you are traveling to. I guarantee you will have fun poking around -- and you'll actually be doing something good for our earth at the same time. We also went to the dump...er....recycle center on that same field trip and we got FREE books. My idea of a good time. Any of you have these creative re-use centers? Let me -- and my blog readers know -- because people keep asking me about them. San Francisco, Berkeley, Portland all have them but there have got to be more out there... so, let us all in on the secret if you know about any others. I finished a little zine, worked on envelopes, painted some stuff -- I'll show you next time. Right now, the sun is shining here in SF and I'm going for a walk (to the mail box!). SEND GOOD MAIL -- GET GOOD MAIL& Make things from re-purposed materials -- you'll be glad you did! |
