People in the US throw away a whole lot of trash. I know some places have recycling centers and some places actually take it seriously. I’m looking for creative ways to repurpose some of the things we deal with and throw away all the time. At one point people were making homes out of throw away items. They called them Earthships.

I was wondering about taking the plastic grocery bags, shredding them and using them as insulation for homes. Any other ideas?

Creativity is a plus.
