Itty Bitty Bonzai #2

February 6th, 2009 - filed under: Itty Bitty Bonzai

Itty Bitty Bonzai is a collection of tiny tips and tricks for living a life more mindful.  Small actions, collectively and compounded, become a powerful force of change.  

#2  If there’s two things I love, it’s wine and recycling!  Sound random?  Well I don’t know about you, but I’ve been saving my wine corks for a while now, waiting to find some creative repurposing that’ll keep them from going to waste.  Now, I seem to have found my answer.

Yemm & Hart is an organization focused on salvage innovation, and they want your corks!  Currently in the collection phase, once they accrue 6 tons of corks they will begin converting them into retail floor tiles.  All cork donors will receive a discount on the finished product – plus a sense of relief regarding all their boozy by-products!

Read all about the project here, or just take my word for it and send your corks to: Wine Cork Recycling, Yemm & Hart Ltd., 610 S. Chamber Drive, Fredericktown, MO, 63645.

BONZAI!

@ James – Me too! I only wish I’d saved my incredible college collection last time I moved . . . =)
