If I had a large composter (ie directly in the ground), I would consider doing more of it that way - and spread out where it is put. But our small composter is all we have for our small garden - no chemicals here!<br /><br />I've just got to find a way to cut down on the Jessica https://www.blogger.com/profile/07750741589516318310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177530866163973083.post-83569526251627359512010-06-21T04:48:43.075-07:002010-06-21T04:48:43.075-07:00Good ideas, but I wouldn't compost or burn jun...Good ideas, but I wouldn't compost or burn junk mail paper. The colored paper has chemical dye in it, and the white paper is bleached with dioxin. <br /><br />I do like Anonymous, use them for grocery lists and send the pre-paid ones back, WITH ALL MATERIAL THEY SENT ENCLOSED, including the envelope they mailed it in. It has cut down the junk mail. AARP is an exception -- instead of not Tenorlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17942181288520807186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177530866163973083.post-13016685419727786072010-05-07T08:35:43.655-07:002010-05-07T08:35:43.655-07:00Great tips!

Little ones can be made into loops and used instead of tape to hold something on the wall.'Beccahttp://blog.earthlingshandbook.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177530866163973083.post-33837037997199354872010-05-06T13:53:59.757-07:002010-05-06T13:53:59.757-07:00i also reuse the things that AREN't junk.

For example, I really love the nice heavy envelopes that invitations (wedding, bar mitzvah) come in and I use them for notes, etc. I also use the back of those nice heavy invitation cards to make lists or notes/signs for the kitchen. Great list, thanks!Phyllis Sommerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16654761832717723000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177530866163973083.post-65771119235166736042010-05-05T08:11:17.560-07:002010-05-05T08:11:17.560-07:00I singed up for a service that limits my junk mail...I singed up for a service that limits my junk mail also don't forget to recycle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177530866163973083.post-78821749960430221172010-05-05T07:14:10.633-07:002010-05-05T07:14:10.633-07:00I love how you think!

They used them in their "post office" play area. They also would take address labels ( the kinds organizations send you) and cut off the address and use the remainder as a sticker. <br /><br />I love the paper beads idea. I'm bookmarking that for a bored summer day!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16510587975140417446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177530866163973083.post-56571164209970306112010-05-04T20:27:01.800-07:002010-05-04T20:27:01.800-07:00I write my grocery list on the envelopes, and then...I write my grocery list on the envelopes, and then store my coupons in them while I shop. <br /><br />Also, sending the postage paid envelopes back to the company helps keep postage rates down! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
