on 9/12/2008 Bottle Caps can be recycled at Aveda stores. They will be reusing the plastic to create caps and containers for their own products. For more info: http://aveda.aveda.com/aboutaveda/caps.asp

on 4/19/2007 Don't throw away your higher numbered plastics until you have checked to see if there is a local recycling center that will take them! My local center has taken them for years.

on 3/20/2007 people who use Type 6 and up plastic cups should start using their own personal water botles rather than continuously going through plastic cups. it is wasteful

on 9/13/2006 Reuse for inexpensive animal waterer (usually less than $5 at most pet stores and some grocery stores). They simply screw into the base vertically and feed the water bowl. If in a rural area, it is a great way to attract small ground animals and if placed in a higher location, birds will also use it. Another idea is to cut a hole in the side (size depends on what birds you want to attract), put Easter basket grass in the bottom and hang. You might want to paint the bottle to make it opaque.

on 8/8/2006 Cut off the top and bottom of the bottle, trace with a Sharpie on the inside of the bottle, cut out a design. Layer glitter on the outside of plastic within the lines you have drawn. Paint with acrylic to fill any spaces between glitter.

on 3/10/2006 Cut off the top and bottom of the bottle, trace your design (with a Sharpie) on the inside of the bottle, cut out the design. Layer glitter on the outside of the plastic within the lines you have drawn. Paint with acrylic paint to fill any spaces between the glitter. It's just like coloring in a coloring book. Ideas: angel, butterfly, Care Bears.

on 3/10/2006 The very bottom of bottle can be cut out and used as a base for the plants in a beta bowl.
