Re-treaded Planters
One of the largest waste disposal problems in the world of trash is the car tire. They alone represent 2 percent of our waste. Think of all those old tires. They used to burn them, but the smoke is full of all kinds of nastiness. They can recycle them into new tires and asphalt and a host of other things, but it’s generally not happening as fast as we use them: an alarming 290 million tires per year in the US alone.
Fortunately, there are a few pioneering souls looking for ways to reuse them. We’ve seen the sandals. Here are some planters. These are great, and unlike some ridiculous examples of “green” furniture we’ve seen (one old tire stool in a Los Angeles furniture we saw was $300), these prices actually reflect that the materials are, well, free.
2 for $32.
