The thick plastic protects against needles poking through. The plastic bottles used for laundry soap are usually used by diabetics and anyone else that has to do daily injections with needles.

We have new exciting designs which we need mountains of old bottles for! There is a real feel good factor in the making of these pieces. They are truely beautiful pieces of lighting, reminiscent of stained glass, however the main thing is that every piece we make, stops another several hundred bottles going to landfill! See www.ateliero.co.uk for some seriously cool, lightweight, recycled lighting solutions.

That way I always have an easy place to put those things that I have to store until haz trash pickup. I store all of that in a locked cabinet out of the children's reach.

I am currently collaborating with another student, Ondrej Lewis and we have developed a concept for recycling large quantities of PET and HDPE bottles. We have made a 600 bottle chandelier / lighting installation which is currently on display at the University of Teesside. We are exhibiting at New Designers, London , 10th-13th July 2008.

Pouring chemicals on ant hills is not the most environmentally friendly practice I can think of. I don't think there should be a need to store granulated anything, well maybe sugar, but lets eliminate the chemicals from our practices. Yeah, I had to stop on number 6 too.

Use milk jugs to store granulated yard products such as ant killer.</i> We have a rule that food storage containers are never reused to store anything dangerous, even if they're kept well away from children. If a child found it they wouldn't think anything of taking a swig because they're used to seeing the containers in the kitchen. I know it sounds paranoid! good list, except 6.
