Sustainable Saturday - Reuse!

For the next three weeks, while our gardens are growing vigorously, I thought I'd take a break from my Garden with Children Series and hopefully give you some new ideas to inspire in your quest to be Green.  The next three weeks will focus on Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Reuse is a very important and often overlooked way to live a life that is more sustainable.

Elevating the Everyday inspired apparel and accessories



The mission of the HaloMiner is to create one of a kind products and art from pieces of everyday life. We want to save cast offs which usually go to the dumpster or bin and to give them a new purpose.

In addition to viewing their products online they are also available at local (Cincinnati, OH) venues:
