4 Items You Can Easily Recycle At Home

Environmentalists and DIY enthusiasts know that you can recycle almost anything. Recycling and the reusing of materials is one of the biggest movements of our generation. We generate a lot of waste on a daily basis, and the best way to make sure that we don’t deplete our resources and the planet doesn’t suffer is to find new ways to put these waste to good use. Other than that, it is also so much fun. There are millions of people who have turned DIY projects into passion projects and economic activities.

Before you go dumpster diving, bear in mind that not everything can be recycled. Luckily, those are just but a few. Most of the things we use or dispose at home can be turned into something else amazing. Check these out:

Shredded Paper

Once you put those old documents through a shredder, you think that’s it right? There are so many things you can do with shredded paper. The same shredded paper can be turned into a blank piece of paper once again. You can also keep them somewhere then pull them out every time you need to start a fire. The best way is to use them to make different art pieces like Paper-Mache models or make a really cool scarecrow to keep of the birds from your garden.

Water Bottles

One of the most common items in any dumpster are water bottles. Most people throw them away because they know they will always buy another bottle of water. Subsequently, it is now one of the biggest environment polluter in most countries in the world. Ironically, recycling or reusing water bottles is one of the easiest things to do, but most people don’t seem to practice it. For one, you can always carry your own water using a reusable bottle and save a few bucks every time you feel thirsty. You can also cut out the bottom end and use it to plant seedlings and create the coolest outdoor garden.

CDs

With the digital era, you can now binge watch your favorite TV series on Netflix and have all your favorite music on your phone or laptop. All the other important documents can be safely locked up in the cloud. This doesn’t mean that you can now throw away all the CDs, DVDs and VHS’s you have racked up over the years. Turn them into art. There are so many CD art pieces that you can come up with. With their impressive reflective properties, you can turn your dull home into a light and color museum. All you will need is a couple of YouTube tutorials and lots of adhesive.

Cardboards

Every time we buy a new appliance, we end up with a very large cardboard that we don’t know what exactly to do with it. The easiest solution will be to throw it away, but you will regret it the next time you want to relocate to another city. Cardboards are generally good for storage and moving out. To make it even easier, you can label each cardboard according to its contents for you to easily trace your belongings.

The Most Vital Home Amenities for Rich People

When you’re rich, you don’t really want to settle with a regular home. You have money to spend, and so you spend it. That’s the kind of thinking that many rich people understand, and professionals like real estate agents and homebuilders know it too. That’s why luxury residences aren’t just about majestic facades and huge spaces. They’re also about catering to what wealthy homeowners want when they have the money to afford luxury.

So what do rich people look for in properties for sale? Here are among the top must-have features that these luxury homes must have:

Fantastic View

Rich people don’t want to see their neighbors, nor do they want a view of alleys and regular roads. Instead, when they have a home they prefer to see the breadth of their huge property. A garden view would be nice, though a panoramic view of nature with trees and mountains in the background would be terrific.

In the city, it’s all about the view from up top. You get to see the lights down below, and when you’re up high you feel like the king of the hill.

Private Gym

This is one room that many affluent people demand. If you have the money, do you really want to go work out in public, and share equipment and space with others?  Of course not! Even getting there is troublesome, what with the traffic. When you get there, you then have to wait your turn on certain types of equipment, and recently sued materials can be rather icky.

But if you’re wealthy, a separate room in your home with weights and other workout equipment is both convenient and healthy for you. It’s more sanitary too, while you also enjoy greater privacy. While you’re at it, you may want a spa in your home as well.

Wine Cellar

Quite a few people regard wine as a status symbol. If you enjoy and know about wine, then you must be wealthy and sophisticated. A wine cellar is then a great addition for people who subscribe to this type of thinking, since they can store many bottles of wine.

Entertainment Center

Even middle class people think about reserving an entire room for fun and recreation. This can be as simple as putting in comfy chairs and a huge TV, though for some rich people this can turn into a private theater. But other homes can feature video games as well, and for the affluent the game rooms can have a billiard table, retro pinball games, and video arcade machines. A fully stocked bar can make it complete.

Premium Swimming Pool

Swimming pools aren’t really exclusively for the wealthy. But then when you’re flush with cash, you certainly can’t abide ordinary swimming pools, and you’re especially averse to inflated pools. What you probably will want will be either an Olympic-sized pool if you’re a serious swimmer, or a gorgeous infinity pool with special features like fountains, waterfalls, and slides.

A Large Garage

Jay Leno isn’t the only rich celebrity with a legendary automobile collection. It’s a particularly common interest among men. But where will you put those cars you buy? You’ll need to keep them at home, and for that you need a huge garage that can also function as a showroom. The bigger the garage is, the better—Jay Leno supposedly has 169 automobiles, to go along with 117 motorcycles.

Money may not buy you happiness, but it sure can get you a great home! With these amenities, who’ll want to leave home?
