psp project : reuse

My Personal Sustainability Project is the art of pre-cycle, reuse, and reinventing of my personal garbage.

The recycling mantra is reduce, reuse, recycle--in that order. I am already very conscious of my intake, reduce my consumption, and compost and recycle as much as possible. This missing link is to reuse. The recycle bin is overflowing and I see potential to reuse and reinvent these materials before they reach the recycle truck.

When I was a small child, I thought that one day all garbage that we used could be traced back to us. There was some kind of coding attached to our use and discard of waste, and at some point we would be confronted with this monstrous pile of the past. I am now attempting to find landfill nirvana--a land where no garbage exists.
