Wipe Out Wasps Without Pesticides

As an eco-minded individual you probably want to love all creatures–the birds and the bees and the wasps equally. But when it comes to stinging insects, you probably don’t want them hanging out in your space. Hang up a recycled glass wasp catcher or two and you can ward off the wasps without using toxic chemical pesticides.

The beehive catcher design has been around since the Middle Ages–they didn’t have chemical sprays back then to get rid of pests. Add a little sugar water to the inside of each catcher to lure wasps inside naturally. Each wasp catcher is made from 100% recycled glass and unlike some bug catching contraptions, these glass hives are gorgeous. In green, aqua and organge, they’ll add beauty to your backyard garden area and peace from the risk of insect stings. Click here to read more

It’s About Time

Every time you look at the Juice Clock, you’ll be reminded of the benefits of recycling. This punchy design piece is made from recycled and reclaimed HDPE detergent bottles. In bright citrus colors like organe, lemon, grapefruit or lime, this clock adds energy to any room that needs a little pick me up.

Put it on the wall in your laundry room for a true display of how recycling has come full circle from detergent bottle to wall clock. If you don’t buy and support recycled products, all that saving and sorting goes to waste. Choosing cool stuff that gives use to what you put in the recycle bin closes the loop by creating a demand to help ensure recyclers always have a place to sell their products.
