Funny story, one day I was walking into the house and the wife dropped a cup of water right off the counter. I had just finished washing the car and had the absorber in my hand, of course I quickly cleaned up the mess and Viola .... the absorber became the quicker picker upper .. lol

I have noticed that we use 1/3 less towels now because of it. Hell it dries, is washable, then dries again, quickly. We've used it to dry the dog, our selves ... on seperate ocassions of course.

So while its not exactly recycling its using one product in place of another that gets thrown out ..

K, I'll allow it!

I got to thinking tonite/day, since shultz up there said of candles...

Ya know those glass candle thingies that people buy? The ones that are almost always 6-8 fl oz capacity? Yeah.. you know the ones... people throw those away. It actually bothers me how many of those I used to see in trash and recycle bins, and then see the same people going to the store to buy a whole new set of dishes because they broke a glass... when they could easily clean those spent candles from the glass, and use THE CANDLE HOLDER!

I've actually got a set of Vodka glasses in storage (shhhh don't tell my friends) that came from 8 flavors of scented candles. They are the perfect size to hold 2 rocks (ice) and a good slug of liquor on a cold night with friends.
