Hey there,
Summer is (finally!) in full swing in the Gallatin Valley. Long awaited by some.
I was contemplating recycling yesterday, as I often do...what is new under the sun? I'm still awaiting an answer...
But, while I wait, I was cleaning out my Inbox and came across this suggestion from Anna Dingman--our bag maker extraordinaire from a previous post! She sent a link about recycling coffee grounds. Now, we all know (or I hope ya do!) that you can compost them. But, wait, there's more! Dye, cleaner, cat/pest repellent (which might be popular in the garden,) fertilizing carrots and radishes, deodorant (not on the body!) and making a brunette, well, more brun! Check out the link from Vision Magazine for details...

...and, enjoy that cup o' joe!
Yours,

My Father can remember, and maybe yours can too, when a bent nail was straightened for reuse. A blog for our times, The Unbent Nail is a collection of ideas about conservation. It adheres to the popular phrase, "reduce, reuse, recycle." It's about how to live cheap, retain more of what you've worked for, and re-purpose rather than dispose of, thereby retaining the integrity of our planet. You input is welcome here! Enjoy!
