Bottle caps like the ones off the water bottles you buy and throw away. These are not washed up on shore; they are mistaken for or attached to food for the young birds.

Recycle your bottle caps. five ACCESSORIES is turning these items into eco-friendly jewlery. Pictured is a custom flower design in the three bottle caps used for this barrette. Now we just need to recycle 4,837 more

Housewarming gifts are always a warm gesture as friends settle into their new home. It seems to make a day brighter to be thought of in the midst of hard work - unpacking and organizing.

We have a charming recycled silver picture frame that could double up as a back to school gift too as children get their school pictures taken this fall. The silver shown is the inside lining of a recycled potato chip bag.

This would be a three-way gift idea, as you give a useful gift for any home, for children's photos and plus you would be giving $5.00 to charity. What a wonderful way to spend $20.00!
