Neat-o web store and Google Alerts.

Now, I want to make it clear, I am in no way being paid for any endorsements on my blog. To be frank, no one has ever asked my to, but even so, I would only recommend things I would actually find useful myself.
BTW- if you have not discovered Google Alerts, you should. They are a fabulous way to learn about what is going on, on the internet, in topics that interest you. That is how I found this little online store.
It is called Eco-artware.com.
They use recycled stuff to make all kinds of possibly useful stuff. They have a bowls made out of vinyl records. They even have a bowl made out of phone cords. How they did that, I do not know.
Some of the stuff is a bit pricey, but other stuff looks more cheaply priced like the jewelery.
Another neato thing is the site has a craft area that shows you how make use of items that would have possibly been trash otherwise. This brings me to my list of 50 thing I am doing for the environment. My good friend Kathy pointed out to me that I have use less paper towels twice on my list so, I am switching one of those out for, "Making something useful out of trash." Trash meaning- anything I would have thrown away or put in the recycling bin. This is pretty general but, I am being general to allow for some creativity.
