    Thumbs up Recycleable item for 2/29 -3/6 (newspaper)

    What can you do with old newspapers?

    I use mine to clean windows.

    What are other ways to recycle newspapers???

    paper mache--- esp. pinatas

    use to make copies of mulit size patterns, so I don't ruin the originals

    stuff in windows in the winter to insulate from the cold

    stuff in the space between the boxes of the solar cooker

    We only purchase the newspaper on Saturdays, and sometimes not even then. When we do, we put them in the recycling box.

    When its craft time though, I scrunch them up and use the in the boxes I mail out, if I don't have any pieces of bubblewrap or odd pieces of batting around. It makes great protection.
