Recycle Fun: Reindeer and Angels from Fallen Palm Fronds, Part 1

If you live in an area with palm trees, a really strong wind will blow off the branches and create a mess.

Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?

But they're not a mess. They're an opportunity.

With a little ingenuity, hot glue, and some Christmas cheer, these lowly fallen branches can brighten up your home with a beloved cartoon face.

Wire through the wood

Decorations and eyes

Have we met before?

The other end can be turned into a lovely angel.

Zero Waste is a difficult thing to manage for some of us. Yet I try.

I think it's more than a trend. I think it's a sensitivity to a food security crisis that we have in our world. I don't like waste, particularly food waste. It's horrific that statistics suggest we have enough food to diminish world food insecurity, but due to politics, infrastructure issues and corporate policies, food isn't getting onto the tables of our neediest people. Whenever possible, I try to donate extra food and/or canned goods to our local meals program. If you haven't thought about it, that's okay, but maybe think about it now, and see if you, too, can give back to your local community's food programs. Just a little bit is still helpful.
