10 Ideas Blog
The 10 Ideas Blog was inspired by the words of James Altucher in his National Best Seller, Choose Yourself. Each week, we sit down and challenge our brain to come up with ten ideas for new inventions. This is a great exercise for anyone to participate in, and sometimes we come up with really great concepts (and sometimes, they’re a little crazy!) Our father, Ben Greenfield wrote an article about why this is such a good idea, and you can read that article here.
In this installment of 10 ideas we were inspired by recycling old materials and reusing them. We throw out so many things into the garbage or recycling bins without thinking about what else we could use them for. Here are some of our ideas!
Terran on Reducing & Reusing
The last bit of candle wax left at the bottom of the jar is wasteful! How do we use the last bit that is left? A candle re-maker takes whatever is left over and adds the necessary ingredients to make a brand new candle. Keep the same scent or create a whole new one. Reusing the jar is also a great way to reduce waste.
River on Reducing & Reusing
I thought it would be a good idea to take the many Amazon boxes we throw out and make bags out of them. They would be sturdy and reusable for day to day life. This is also a great way to reuse and reduce waste.
