Green Idea: Give Your Old Socks A New Life

user

Whether your sock gets worn out and full of holes or the dryer eats half of a pair, at  some point you may end up with a pile of socks you'd just as soon throw in the garbage.  Even though darning holes in socks hasn't been done in at least 50 years, that doesn't mean they need to end up in a landfill.  Before you discard your misfit socks check out these ideas to give them a new life.

  1. Use a sock to dust furniture, or spray with glass cleaner to clean mirrors and windows.  That way you won't have to use any paper towels or wipes.
  2. On a rainy afternoon make sock puppets with your kids.  Depending on their ages, either you can put on a puppet show or the kids can perform for you.
  3. At work or school, put a sock on a water bottle to prevent condensation from getting on your desk and papers.
  4. Create your own heating pad.  Fill a sock with dried beans then tie it closed.  Put it in the microwave for 1 minute for warm relief.

Before you throw out your old sock, be green and think about giving it a new life.
