We are surrounded by a society of blame culture. It's not our fault that the planet's dieing, it's not our fault that recycling's so difficult. Why does everything have to be so difficult for us?
I'm not going to lie; I'm as guilt as most people for not putting all recyclable materials into the relevent box or taking glass to the relevant glass bottle bank. And yes, I am going to use that excuse that it's too difficult and that recycling should come to me if it's so important.
However, I am now going to suggest a new way to recycle your old rubbish:
1. NEVER throw away any of your old clothes. Firstly, if you can repair it, it still fits. Secondly, if it's too small, give it to a younger sibling. Thirdly, if you don't have a younger sibling or you simply don't like the item anymore, make it into something that you do like. I have found this amazing website: www.cutoutandkeep.net
It has an idea on how to make anything. My current project is a recycled material elephant cushion I'm making for Valentine's Day (it's better not to ask why it's an elephant...) Unfortunately I like all my clothes so I bought some material off of Ebay - the student's best friend.
This was a major challenge: I've never seen fully blown warfare break out over fabric samples but this was getting close. Finally I found something that nobody else was fighting for and so I'm on my next step to recycling old fabric. Good old tree hugger that I am.
Anyways, it's off to dancing now

About Me
- luckygirl37
- Okay, so I'm a first year law student looking for a way out of the university workload. Trust me, it can get that bad, but i'm sure it'll be worth it in the end. I crave some sort of creative output and so this blog is going to be sort of a diary of a university student. I love criticising and worshipping different media as well as socialising student style and spending time with the currently adoring boyfriend. i also love good food, a passion which also haunts me as i battle weight gain with avengence. Obsessed perfectionist and hopeless romantic, i love planned spontanaity and in this case oxymorons.
