Sydney-siders will probably already be familiar with Reverse Garbage  – a not-for-profit cooperative that takes industrial and commercial scraps and sells them to peeps like you and I. We can use these bits and pieces for arts, craft, education, home renovation etc. The real clencher is that less waste will go to landfill, which puts a big smile on Mama Earth’s beautiful face.

For my 19th birthday a few years back, my best mate picked up a big purple cylindrical tub from Reverse Garbage and filled it with cut up tissue and a bunch of presents. I later used it as a stand for my Casio keyboard, then a few years later as a storage bin for my netball trophies. I think it’s fun to see how many uses you can come up with for every random object you have. Do you, perhaps, have a few empty glass jars you can fill with homemade cookies and seal with pretty fabric and a piece of string? Voila! You’ve just re-birthed that jar into a totally brilliant gift.

Don’t lose it if you can re-use it.

Yours,
April
