My ideas for sharing recycling tips and crafts

I have been creating and making crafts since early childhood. Now I use or include recycled items as a part of my decreasing ecological foot print. If you are not sure what that is about, check this site out http://www.footprintnetwork.org I recycle everything I can in the home to the point there is one trash bag to go to the dump and 4-6 for recycling. When the economy started feeling it's burden and finances used for my hobbies was cut I had to rethink ways to keep creating. I noticed several items that could be reused in my crafts or around the house. So the tabs on soda cans started to fill a jar along with bread tags, milk jug caps, frozen juice metal ends, and that was just the beginning. Now I also save my foam meat trays (after a good washing), clear packaging from products, the plastic rings under the lids of soda, water, and juice bottles. This list goes on but I think it would be easier to show you and share ideas on how to use recycled items for you to try.
