Post-consumer recycled office
paper was hand cut into an original lace design and glued to a pair of
vintage shoes, a skirt and hat made from canvas scraps. The dress is a
vintage cocktail dress from the early 1950s. The dress, hat and shoes
took 120 hours to create.
Recycling and Composting
Paper accounts for 35%
of the garbage we create. Luckily it is easy to keep out of the
landfill through either recycling or composting. Compost is a great way
to transform “waste” into a resource! Shredded newspaper provides carbon
to your compost pile. Composting your food waste and yard trimmings can
reduce 24% of your waste, plus it provides valuable nutrients to your
garden! It also helps to reduce evaporation thus conserving water.
Removing paper and green waste from the landfills reduces the amount of
methane, a green house gas, emitted into the atmosphere.
