Fast Fact: Reuse that soda bottle

Five ways to reuse a 2 liter soda bottle:

  1. Make a terrarium — For how-to’s, click here.
  2. Make a bird feeder — Use a knife to cut two holes at the bottom of the bottle large enough to slide a stick through for a bird perch (perfect use for a disposable chopstick). Next, cut a few holes above the perch for retrieving seed. Finally, fill with seed, tie a string around the top and hang.
  3. Flower pot. Decorate the bottom half of the soda bottle and plant a flower (or replant your terrarium population).
  4. Conserve. Fill the two liter bottle with water and place it in your toilet tank to use less water with every flush.
  5. Water your veggies — Cut the bottom off and then bury most of the bottle upside down next to a tomato plant. When you water, pour into the 2 liter bottle and the water will go down to the plant’s roots.

I love the birdfeeder idea.

Better yet - don’t drink soda and then you won’t have to bottle to dispose of!
