Green Tip #20: Landfill Reduction, Part 2

Well, well, we've gotten to the big two zero. How time flies when you're saving the world. This one won't be a big flashy ordeal like I do sometimes (always). Just a quick and simple tip. But, to make it more exciting, this will be a continuation of the sub-series of Green Tips known as the Landfill Reductions. Without further ado, Green Tip #20.

Environmentally Friendly Uses For Styrofoam:

Grind it up into fake snow and your kids will be able to pretend like it's winter all year round. Especially useful if you live in California. (Ahem, if you've been reading my blog so far, why are you still in California?) Also, once global warming sets in, this'll be your only chance to make snow angels!

What's that? Your airbag in your car went off and it's too expensive to replace? Why not fill your car with Styrofoam packing peanuts?

I never take the elevator when I go places to save electricity. But going up the stairs in the morning is so much easier than going back down after a long and tiring day of work. So why not fill a dumpster with packing peanuts outside your office building. Another bonus, jumping down into the peanuts saves precious time you could be spending with your family!

Finally, think about how cool it would be to make shoes out of Styrofoam. All comfort and durability issues aside, wouldn't it be impressive to be able to walk on water?
