Alternative Uses for Everyday Things

Things. Everyday things. They have a way of entering our lives and accumulating over time. Whether it's a one-purpose cleaning product purchased three years back, leftovers from last night's potluck or a thingamabob gift from none other than Uncle Bob, tossing it just feels wasteful and keeping it just ignores the reality that you don't want it. You can give it away on Krrb.com or find an alt use for it. For the next two weeks, we'll explore alt uses for household things , how people are using the urban lanscape in alternative ways and hear from a community leader about how turning something old into something new can be an everyday activity.
