Recycle! Reuse! Reduce!

We want to do something for our Mother Earth so, we decided to start from our home. In the meantime, exposing the girls to creativity and nurturing their love for our Mother Earth.

First, we came out with the idea of rearing the fishes by using the water filter (the water filter was left unused for sometimes already). This is amazing, we had a very clear and nice view of the fishes and the "aquarium" is unique!! The job of changing the water was much more easier now with just pulling up the tap!


Next, we had some hands-on in the laundry sector. We did some twisting on the normal clothes hanger as shown in the photo so that we could use it as a SHOES or even SOCKS hanger. It really drained out the water quite well! As for the socks, you wouldn't have parts that were not completely dry out! This is indeed very useful!


Can't really remember which day but it was definitely heavy rain with strong wind, perhaps a "baby tornado" that caused our clothes rack to tumble! Yup, I had to wash all the clothes all over again! Then, we had an idea! Rather than just the clothes rack, we decided to tie a CHAIN (a plastic chain works well compared to iron chain as it is lighter in weight). The reason we used a CHAIN is because it can hold the clothes hanger in place. So, the clothes won't crumpled together no matter how strong the wind is and of course, the clothes dried up prefectly. Therefore, throw away your ROPE for hanging your clothes, change it to the CHAIN :)


I bought a plastic basket to keep my clothes peg, in fact I bought a few times already as the basket couldn't endure the weather. In the end, my hubby cut a mineral bottle into half, using two cable band to tie it with the lantern hook (spoiled Chinese New Year lantern) and here is my new "basket" to keep my clothes peg.


My smart hubby leaving the lower part of the mineral bottle left unclosed so that, no dirt or water was left in it! Simply love this cute little basket!


I believe most of us drive-thru to McDonald before. We had a couple of this at home. And I personally found it very useful as it can be used as a PAD! It is not an i-pad but it is a multi use pad! It is especially useful when we needed to place a HOT kettle, pan, wok or any other kitchen utensil. I even had one to hold my OILY oil pot! So, I had an "oil-free and heat-free" kitchen! :)



Somehow, we love to brain-storming ideas..looking for the best solution so that we can recycle, reuse and reduce the so-called rubbish! I guess that not only us but also the Mother Earth benefits from it! Go Green and Save Our Mother Earth!
