45 Times People Did Something Clever About Saving The World Instead Of Just Talking

I love this idea

That’s cool.

This is cool

That's smart... And cute. I like it :)

Ive donated to them before!

Looks cool as well

We have these in Denmark. It's a little tiny dot of some special glue, which took them a long time and effort to develop. It holds the six cans tightly together and you have to twist it in a certain way to separate. After the glue doesn't stick to anything anymore. It saves 150 tons of plastic a year in Denmark alone. Also we have a system where you get paid for returning empty bottles and cans. A lot of homeless people make a living collecting them, and also they don't end up polluting nature.

Just, keep them in Cali. If they are not native species, they may overgrow your local native species.

When paper is very dirty, like sometimes of food, when wrapped things, it cannot be recicled and it must be thrown in the waste container, not in the paper one.

Seen these used for hot rice as the leafs sort of heat protected

love this! super easy, quick and tasty

good picture. i now have a banana bread recipe

U can also freeze bananas when they are very ripe and then use for banana bread, muffins, cake, etc.

Great ides, cuts down on the waste. That's the only way you can make banana bread!!!

And the bags are carton and completely recyclable too!

Cool idea. My recipe doesn't use so much sugar; 6 bananas, 8 eggs, 1/4 c. oil. 4 1/2 c. flour, 1 c. brown (or white) sugar, 3 T. baking powder. Sift dry ingredients. Beat wet ingredients together then stir into dry. Bake 350 degree, abt. 50-60 min. Makes 2 loaves. When you use a HIGH proportion of sugar, less banana, less egg what you have is more of a banana cake, not bread.

It's easier to store them separatly from the not as brown bananas, with a different price. The receipt can be with the price, and you take a pic of it. It's done with all "old" vegetables here. I thought it was in all countries. The really bad thing in this example, however, is the packaging. Any of this is needed and it's a huge atempt to climate.

my grocery store should do this

And the more rotten the bananna the better the bananna bread..its super moist

Thus is awesome 😁

The Ingles in my area does that too.

It's the one Moses used :P

This is great for things like remote controls. Instead of throwing the batteries away, recharge them. One less thing in the land fills

Why it isn't in all supermarkets?

Lets remember that many compostable cups are really not compostable. https://recycleforgreatermanchester.com/blog/the-truth-about-compostable-packaging/

When my son was in middle school, he got in trouble for "lurking" in the bushes next to his school. When I asked what he was doing, he said he was planting his pencil next to the school so that it would grow into a tree!! LMAO

Even the button is happy!

as mush as i love popping bubble wrap, this is amazing idea

Until someone steals my script

Why not just use metal ones and reuse. Single use is just wasteful however environmentally friendly

I would rather see this than all the plastic.

Some places you can't do this in because the shop/restaurant would be liable if anything bad happens. Sucks but it's true. They are forced to throw the food away.

Grey water reuse is awesome, although this would be ergonomically a bit awkward to use. I've seen these at urinals as well where it would work much better.

amazing! i want it for my home

This actually looks really nice. Cool!

I'm pleased to say every coffee shop in my city - Portsmouth UK - give away their grinds for gardening.

How do you recycle cigarette butts?

nice if you bought just one pair of shoes... Will look like a christmas tree if bought three or more :D :D

Why do you even have plastic confetti? Ours has always been made from paper, not plastic.

It's for Pani Puri (a snack) and with these pressed leaves they also make disposable plates

This is cool. I want this in my country

Smart

This thing came to my school in P6 (Year 6)

That you can use it in the dishwasher? Amazing.

The paper ones are actually quite eco-friendly too (not the plastic ones) because it's a way to reuse even a couple of times recycled paper that has little to no other uses. :)

It looks almost balletic.

This is really neat- but reminds me of fallout.

That looks so dope! I want one

Wait why are they giving you a sharpie then? I understand it shouldn't wipe off when your hand crosses over it but wouldn't it be better to use a water washable dry erase markers? Because sharpies are made to be permanent after they dry?

I also have one single bottle that I always refill with tap water. This one is a very good idea, where can we get one?

Has anyone ever tried this? I’m curious how much they grow. It’s a cool idea

simple and fun

I take my own washing items when I travel. They fit in a tiny bag. Hand-crocheted cotton washcloths and my own shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. This is also a great idea. Next they need to stop with the cutesy individual items in the bathroom and just have the bulk pumps on the wall.

But glass bottles are beeing recycled already.... Or is that not so in the US?

great idea !
