We have a specific area in the kitchen for our recyclables.

b/f trash goes out, peruse to see if any recyclable materials were mistakenly placed in trash

I have a small business making market bags out of recycled bags from my local grocery store. I sell them at a local ready made store in my city. They sell a number of my bags because of the local farmers market that sets up across the street from their address. I think it's pretty cool.

My absolute favorite way to recycle is through selling clothes through consignment shops. I also purchase many very stylish clothes there as well.

I've just been introduced to handbags and other items made by knitting or crocheting used plastic grocery bags.

There are two ways to go about it, one is to crochet fairly rough strips and the other is to make "plarn" -- spinning the plastic strips into thinner yarn then knitting or crocheting items with it.

I've started my first handbag and it seems to be moving along well. I'm taking photos of the project as I complete it and will be posting them on my blog when I'm finished with the first one.
