  Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in our oceans and landfills, causing severe environmental damage.<br>By recycling plastic bottles, we can:<br><br>1. Conserve resources: Recycling reduces the need for new raw materials, saving energy and natural resources.<br>2. Reduce pollution: Proper disposal prevents plastic from contaminating ecosystems and harming wildlife.<br>3. Save energy: Producing recycled plastic uses less energy than creating new plastic from scratch.<br>4. Create jobs: The recycling industry provides employment opportunities in collection, processing, and manufacturing.<br>5. Mitigate climate change: Recycling reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with plastic production and waste incineration.<br><br>Like, if you agree👍

  I was all fired up to try the ice behind the fan bit till I started wondering about the melting water, especially with a swivel going!

  I loved many of these ideas. Some of my favorites:<br>- using the gallon handles mounted to the wall or board to hold cleaning or other tools (brooms, hammer, etc)<br>- hanging the ice bottles behind a fan (just need something to catch the drips and use that water to water your plants<br>- making a watering can <br>- the zippered container<br>- the waterproof matchstick container<br>- the small items hanging organizers<br>... And other i cannot think of right now

  Ice Water <br>I was head of our first Tribal Preschool and took advantage of an instructor from the Washington State University Cooperative Extention who provided Preschool Parents with weekly Nutrition and Food Handling techniques, etc with a hands on food demonstrations each week.<br>Parents received a certificate and a very nice book that included and expanded on all that was experienced each week.<br>The last it was dark and cold when she left to return home near her workplace 90 miless away.<br>I offered her coffee to go.<br>That&apos;s when she explained that at such a late stage of the day it was not effective. That&apos;s she discovered several before to drink Ice Water that was as refreshing as coffee early in the day.<br>We traveled often hours away and Ice Water is very effective.
