Frugal Fridays #2 #FixThePlus #FollowFridays

Last week's Frugal Friday #1 I talked about plastic. Plastic is right there at the top of nature's hit list taking 450 years to degrade. That's a long time. The land, lakes, ponds and oceans are all being swallowed up by plastic that has been thrown away or blown away. Just ask +Tim Clark about a plastic bag sticking to his hot muffler.

Another post I wrote about Giant Pacific Garbage Patch to which there is some progress being made but not much. It's a horrible thought of the ocean sea life has to suffer because of man. There is nowhere safe for an animal, land or sea.

I came across this YouTube video and absolutely love the idea of building this greenhouse out of 2-liter plastic bottles. Wouldn't it be the neatest project to build greenhouses, dog houses, anything you could think of to make. The woman said during her talk that 32 Million tons of plastic get thrown away every year. A bridge could be made out of that!

Do you have any ideas what you could use a plastic bottle for?

Reuse,Recycle,Create (Redo) #FixThePlus

I love to mess around with projects. Especially plastic bottles in all shapes and sizes. I love creating stuff which really appeals to my cheap nature aka recycling. And when it actually works...bonus!

I have been recycling a long time. I'm especially happy when what I create I can actually use.



I went into this "funk" for a while. I went completely bah humbug on just about everything and all things holiday which is so not like me. I didn't even decorate for Christmas or Halloween I was so depressed.

With this chronic pain thing going on, not working, my adult kids living so far away, the combination of all these things that were missing in my life brought me to my knees which I am not used to being a fighter.

Then in June, I was 'cleaning' my computer out of stuff I didn't use or remember using and came across Blogger. I had already decided to write  a book of my life for my new Grandson that is due September 10th. So as in all things I plunged right in and started blogging as well. 

How does this all tie together you ask? It has brought bringing me out of my funk where I may actually decorate this holiday season and now I have a reason and a place to put my creative ideas at. Weird the paths we that we end up taking  to get to a better place.
