timber bamboo cut down by a neighbor, we used to build a trellis for squash
But what's best about all this is that most of these are things we actually need and some are just fun to have or useful materials for our creative endeavors. We save tons of money recycling and reusing. The downside? Sometimes we wait to get that item we really need/want. (Which makes us think twice about how badly we really need it!) Or once in a while we bring home something that takes up space until it's perfect use is discovered.

Love your idea for reducing carbon footprint. I don't do much re-using myself except for saving glass jars(of mayo, fish, capers etc.). I use them to store 2-3 different styles of salad dressings I usually make.
