Instead of daydreaming about a future where being green is a way of life, make it a reality. It's easy to be eco-alert when you put some fun into your activities. Always think of items you would normally throw in the trash as potential art projects or one-of-a-kind homemade gifts. Glass jars can become snow globes. Metal containers can be given a new life as whimsical robots. Socks and gloves can transform into cute puppets.
