El Borbah says you can peel George Hamilton’s outter tan bark to create 13 leather bound books. It grows back in 4 days.

Robin Williams back hair can be harvested to create 8 hammocks or 3 herring bone suits. Again, it grows back in 4 days.

I’m trying to find where I can get a compost bin that is reasonably priced in Indianapolis. I see quite a few online but because they are online, I can’t see quality, durability, etc.

Is there a good store in town that sells compost bins for yard waste?

Please consider adding a link to our site in your Education and Awareness section.

Children’s Web Site Encourages Creative Reuse and Recycling

Listed by the American Library Association as one of the best online resources for kids, The Imagination Factory is an award winning site that shows visitors how to make art using materials most people throw away. Some of the activities include drawing, painting, sculpture, collage, paper mache, marbling, and crafts, and a special section for holiday art and crafts is featured.

A Trash Matcher helps visitors find appropriate art activities for the solid waste they have available, and a feature called the Badge Matcher allows Girl Scouts and their leaders to quickly locate art activities that help satisfy badge requirements. Trashasaurus Rex, the site’s mascot, heads the Public Relations Department, and there are numerous links to other art and environmental sites in the Research and Development Department.

A discussion of landfills is located in the Education Department, and it’s linked to Trash a Pizza! The activity shows visitors how to make a paper mache model of a pizza with solid waste toppings. Divided into nine segments or categories, the pizza’s toppings or trash represent the composition of American landfills. The Imagination Factory is located at http://www.kid-at-art.com/.>
