Recycled Bottles
As my wife and I prepare to move to the Northwest, I have over 6months worth of bottles which I have to get rid of! I say get rid of because believe it or not, the city of Prescott Arizona quit taking any bottles last September which means there is no other option but for me to take them to the dump.
Sad day indeed when a city cannot come up with alternatives, than to just shut the system down. So I came across a blog post on what you can do with your bottles. Should I remained living in a city where I had no other options I would be building or utilizing my bottles. So for those of you have bottles here are some solutions - The 13 Coolest Things Made from Recycled Bottles
Its sad because there are so many stories of waste where we could be actively teaching our local governments there is another option if we could only use our imagination. If you have not seen the academy award documentary nominee WASTELAND where you can see such imagination on a grand scale, we highly recommmend it. WASTELAND TRAILER
