Green Tip of the Week

Recycling pillowsIn preparation for re-using pillows, it's a great idea to use a pillow protector so that the polyester stuffing doesn't get soaked with a year's worth of drool :). It's also a good idea to wash the pillow first before repurposing it. If it's really far gone and the casing is ripped, you can just wash the filling in a bucket.
Some folks have found a variety of ways to re-use pillows; here's few suggestions.
- Use the stuffing to make a new soft pillow firm (might save a few bucks)
- Your local animal shelter may be able to use them (check with the shelter first)
- Keep to one side as packing material for your next move
- Use as stuffing in toys
- Use as stuffing in throw cushions
- Stitch the sides and ends together of multiple synthetic fibre fill pillows to make a quilt. Put a nice cover on it of course :).

Poetry by Australian Writer GRAEME KING
I think I just heard Mother Nature cry,Or was it one more broken, falling tree?
You'd think we'd learn as time goes speeding by.
They tell us there's a big hole in the sky,
We won't believe in something we can't see,
I think I just heard Mother Nature cry.
Coal-fired chimneys reaching up so high,
Even though the solar power's free,
You'd think we'd learn as time goes speeding by.
We develop rocket ships that fly,
But still can't stop pollution of the sea,
I think I just heard Mother Nature cry.
Headlines: One more species set to die,
Keep it quiet and use diplomacy,
You'd think we'd learn as time goes speeding by.
Worry on the future? Pass it by!
How can preservation start with me?
I think I just heard Mother Nature cry.
You'd think we'd learn as time goes speeding by.
