You could do that for any type of lizard, snake, or any other pet you put in a tank/cage like hamsters, ferrets, and guinea pigs. It gives them a lot of room and makes a great conversation piece. Not to mention it looks awesome

That's fantastic! It gives you plenty of decent access to clean, feed and update the habitat, keep supplies away underneath. And it looks absolutely bloody awesome 😍 😍 😍
If more things end up getting recycled, reused, and repurposed instead of thrown away, that means fewer products are bought, transported, and made in factories. That, in turn, leads to less pollution, less energy and water consumed, and fewer greenhouse gasses produced.
Fewer resources get wasted while your average consumer saves money because they’re focusing on DIY, not shopping around. It’s a win for everyone who isn’t out to maximize their profits at any cost.

This would make a lovely kitty scratching box. Decorative for the soft can openers and great for my sweet voids to sharpen their nails on. Might even look cooler as the cats add their marks to it.
Recycling doesn’t happen in a vacuum. You have to invest in the right infrastructure for the whole project to come together. And that’s a bigger headache than you might think at first: it’s expensive and requires a mind-boggling amount of planning. Urging your local community to recycle more is fruitless if the materials don’t actually get recycled and just end up dumped in some secret faraway landfill.
Remember, you’re not just aiming to recycle plastic chocolate chip cookie containers and soda bottles—there are a ton of different materials that you need to account for. Among them are aluminum, cardboard, electronics, food waste, glass, steel, tires, paper, textiles, yard trimmings, and wood, as well as a range of plastic, polyethylene, and polypropylene containers.

Just as an example of the logistical complexity involved, the United States Environmental Protection Agency explains that there are 15 different types of recycling and other municipal solid waste infrastructure. These include material recovery facilities, anaerobic digesters, composting facilities, electronic recyclers, glass recycling facilities, glass secondary processors, and municipal solid waste landfills.
On top of those, you have metal, paper, plastic, textile, tire, and wood recycling facilities, as well as transfer stations and wood secondary processors. Each place needs specific machinery, technology, systems, and expertise to run properly.

I Got This Vintage Stepstool Chair For Free From Someone Who Was Throwing It Out. Restored It To Its Original Red And Used Marine-Grade Vinyl For The Seat So It Should Last For Years

I can feel this memory. Have sat on that stool. 70s - our farm - it hung out in the kitchen. Ours was more of a yellow where the red is. Younger me thought the flip in/out steps was rather creative. Still around AFAIK but I think a relative has it now. They were built pretty strong.
Frozengeckolover 1 year ago
Some of my grandparents had these. Honestly, I hated that chair. It is taller than a normal chair, so it does not fit at the table right. If you are over 5ft tall, sitting with your feet on the top step makes your knees stick out, and putting your feet on the bottom step makes the top step dig into the back of your leg. One of my grandmas used that chair exclusively as a step ladder, to reach high shelves in the kitchen. One day she was at my house, and she saw me take my small step ladder out to reach something on a high shelf. She was amazed that it was so compact and light, but sturdy (she thought all step ladders were bulky, heavy a-frames, like the one my grandpa had in the barn). I told her they sell them everywhere. She bought a step ladder like mine on the way home. Then she called my aunt, who had always wanted that weird chair, and told her to come get it. Haha!
Let’s assume for a moment that you’ve got all the recycling facilities set up. Now, you somehow need to convince the population that they should start recycling. It’s a complicated task, though. It essentially involves changing how people perceive their relationship with the environment, spending, and consumption.

Motivating someone to recycle (more) is as much a shift in a person’s mindset and philosophy as it is a physical act of separating your recycling and dumping it in the right container.
This involves cultivating more self-awareness while shopping and educating people about the impact their actions have on the environment. If you make the problem relatable and relevant, you’ll have more people on your side than by just appealing to some lofty, faraway goals.

What A Great Idea For Repurposing Wellington Boots
David 1 year ago
Cute, but the chickens will have a lot of that feed on the ground, which gets wasted unless you let the boots empty out and they have to hunt for more food. You can make a similar self feeder from PVC pipes - except where the 'toe' is you angle it up a bit more so they sort of have to stick their head down in. Less waste that way. I made a wooden box version from scrap wood. Same basic idea. You built it so from the side it is sort of a 'J' shape.

I made some like that but the chickens just manage to fill them with shavings lol a salvaged galvanized round feeder on top of an old tire rim has been perfect though!

First of all, you have to make recycling accessible and easy. The more difficult it is to do, the more people are not going to bother. So, you’ll have to set up lots of recycling containers and bins in people’s areas.
Few people are going to walk five minutes to throw out their bag o’plastic and paper if there’s a general waste bin a few seconds away from them. Meanwhile, you want everyone to have clear instructions about what they can and can’t recycle.

Load More Replies...Next, you’ll want to offer shoppers alternatives to excessive plastic packaging and bags. If you ban plastic bags or make them more expensive than durable paper ones, you’ll change consumers’ habits by appealing to their sense of frugality. Nobody wants to pay more for something of similar quality.
At the same time, companies need to take their eco-friendly stances seriously: though packaging can help protect products, there are egregious examples that show how wasteful and anti-environment some businesses can be.

A Great Way To Reuse And Recycle Wine Corks
1 year ago
Assuming the wine was thoroughly washed off before use, it shouldn't be any more susceptible than other untreated wood. Cork is used in all kinds of things including floor tiles and sub-flooring, sound insulation in walls and ceilings, shoe soles, and furniture cushioning. The only downside I see in this use is that it would not be very sturdy against squirrel teeth or sharp beaks; otherwise it might be better than just using typical thin wood boards since the corks would lend at least a little insulation against big temperature swings, although good placement is the best way to help with that regardless of construction.

This T-Shirt Quilt Was Made With My College T-Shirts Repurposed

To do this, buy woven iron-on interfacing. Put the interfacing onto the inside of the t-shirt, and iron. This will stick the two layers together. You can then cut the t-shirt, and it will behave like a woven fabric, not a jersey one. This makes sewing the pieces together so much easier!

My wife and i were in love with the idea of making a shipping container house for YEARS....but, the reality is that they kinda suck. A 40 x 9 ft container will run anywhere between $2500 and $5000 + shipping, and the smaller ones aren't much cheaper, and you have to go through a reputable dealer because who knows what kind of toxic c**p could have been shipped in them otherwise. Once you cut any kind of hole in the shell, the entire structure has to be reenforced. With steel. Which makes the container kind of pointless, then you need to run wiring, plumbing, HVAC, insulation and frame it out for drywall, which eats into the already meager area of the container. At best it's a stylistic choice, that's going to end up more expensive, and being more work.

I Repurposed This Smoking Stand That Belonged To My Grandparents. The Label Under It Reads 1928
Frozengeckolover 1 year ago
That's pretty! I see nothing wrong with repurposing antique family heirlooms if it keeps your memories alive. I repurposed a big ceramic lamp my great-grandma had in her sitting room. I asked her if I could have it, AND I told her what I was going to do with it, and she was fine with it. I took the socket off, plugged the hole, and installed a round piece of glass on it. It is now an end table, and I think of my grandma every time I use it. However, my aunt was super mad at what I did. She ended up with the matching lamp (I was supposed to get both of them), and she got so angry when I refused to give her my lamp. Ironically, she did not keep hers; she said it was too big, and she put it in storage for years before giving it to a junk shop. I had offered her money for it, so I could have matching end tables, but she did not want to sell it to me because I "ruined" the other one. Now a stranger has hers, and I'm still enjoying mine and thinking of my granny. Lol.

When The Music Store You Work For Is Cleaning Out Old Drum Stick Fixtures And Your Wife Crochets, Viola! Yarn Storage!
Frozengeckolover 1 year ago
I love it when spouses/partners try to support their SO's hobbies; even if they aren't into it themselves. I had a boyfriend who would build me terrible shelves (he was not good at building), and bring me weird containers and organizers for my crafting projects. It usually wasn't what I wanted, but I loved all of it because it meant he cared about my interests. I still have a nut & bolt organizer he gave me to sort my beads. He got it from work. They were throwing it out because the side was broken. He fixed it with resin, and it still works.

A Great Way To Recycle All The Weekly Ads And Your Junk Mail. Homemade Fire Bricks
I shred the paper soak it in a bucket of water then I have a circular saw blade welded to a piece of rebar. I use that with a drill to churn the paper to a pulp. Put in a brick press to squeeze the water out

As a fire starter? I think the bricks are for actual burning

I, also, do not like this. I appreciate the creativity of it, though.

Sad to see so many negative comments. Hard work deserves a little compassion.
