Our streets our littered with used chewing gum, but next time your bubble loses its pop, don’t drop it—recycle it! Anna Bullus’s Bubble Gum Bin is made from Gumnetic, a new biodegradable material she developed made from sterilized used chewing gum and bio resin. The bin keeps chewing gum litter from our sidewalks and shoes and when full, the entire container is recycled to make even more bins. How’s that for cradle-to-cradle?
Anna Bullus has also created the Gumnetic Chewy Pad, a comfy cushion comparable to memory foam cushions. Sitting on gum may not be so bad after all!

Turn pretty pie-filling cans into a piece of folk art that doubles as a cooking utensil holder. Bolt three eye-catching blueberry cans to a wooden cutting board with a frame hanger on the back. Display your clever work on the wall near the stove.
No matter how hard you try to keep drawers from collecting junk, they seem to be the vortex of miscellany. Get control over the odds and ends by cleaning a dozen tuna cans and nestling them into a drawer. Each little compartment can store thumbtacks, rubber bands, clips or twist ties. Junk drawer no more!
Corral the clutter in the kids’ room with magnetic tin cans. Hot-glue heavy-duty magnets to 10 soup cans and stick them to a steel cookie sheet. Hang it within kids’ reach using a plate hanger. Use the cups to hold crayons, chalk, markers and even small toys. Label the cans for easy clean-up.
Organize your accessories with a scarf display made of sleek silver cans. Arrange seven soup cans to create a tight circle with one can in the center. Tightly wrap a long sash around the bundle of cans, secure it with a knot at the top, then hang your new organizer on the wall. Each cubby stores a colorful scarf and adds stylish organization to your closet.
Keep the weeds out of the seeds by organizing your potting bench with bright vegetable cans. Choose a brand with gorgeous graphics of tomatoes, corn and green beans, or whatever you plan to plant. A clean-edge can opener creates nicely fitting lids, too, so your seeds will stay high and dry.
Thanks for the great ideas HGTV

Clean the World Foundation Inc. is saving lives one bar of soap at a time. All of the unused soap left in hotel rooms has potential to save lives in third world countries. These countries do not have soap readily available to them and because of this many diseases that could have been prevented with simple hand washing are killing people. Clean the World Foundation Inc. is collecting soap from hotel rooms all over Florida as well as several other states, and recycling it for distribution in countries such as Haiti. The full story is available at My Fox New York. Hotels, Motels, and Bed & Breakfast owners wishing to donate soap and shampoo to Clean the World Foundation Inc. can do so by contacting Paul Till at ptill@cleantheworld.org.
