Can we think of ways we can convert ourtrash into treasure? Here are a few ideas to get us started. -The holidays are fast approaching, so any peanuts we have leftover after using them to safeguard the gifts we're shipping canbe used for decoration. Use a needle and strong thread to stringthe peanuts like popcorn to use as a garland for your tree. -Place a few peanuts in the bottom of a planter before insertingyour plant to conserve soil and to help drainage. Be sure not touse too many or to block the drainage hole completely. -Use an old zippered pillowcase and fill it with peanuts. Thismakes an inexpensive pet bed or a "bean" bag chair. -Dip the peanuts in paint and use for creative stamps. Manypeanuts look like letters or you can cut them into whatevershape you'd like. If you are a scrapbooker, this is a great wayto add a creative splash to a page. -Crumble the peanuts into pieces and use them as faux snow inour winter decorations. Even simple actions can help protect our environment. The morewe do, the more we help, the more our world benefits.
