My Trashmagination dream is to start America's first creative reuse business district. What is that?

• a place with businesses and non-profits that work towards creative reuse all in one place
• a place that provides employment for people who love to design & produce items from trash
• a place where people could shop, take classes and get items fixed

Stuffed toys can be difficult to give away for sentimental reasons, but also because not many charities want used stuffed toys. So what can you do once your children outgrow their stuffed toys other than throw them in the trash?

Juice pouches and other flexible food packaging are easy to use in creative reuse projects. In this podcast, get tips on how to sew and clean this packaging. And check out the many projects I have made from this type of packaging over the years.

Trashmagination is having a table at an upcoming Earth Day fair at a local company. The organizers asked for other activity ideas - so here are fun hands-on activities that companies can organize to get everyone thinking green.
