Too late, but I was going to suggest re-using small yoghurt containers as popsicle molds. Insert scrubbed popsicle stick...presto.
Three Rs:
--Reduce (purchasing, consumption)
--Reuse
--Recycle
The first two Rs often get overlooked (by me, too, always consider me to be preaching to myself).
Leah, sounds like you're walking the walk. Thanks.

Hi Hops,
As I mentioned last year, on simplicity thread, I have been into "recycling" and "reusing" for over 10 years now.
Huge Compost Makers in the garden of each house, which I started to learn "how to" back in 1992 - and I am amazed just how the years have flown by, as I share this. I was very 'green' then - excuse the pun, and learned much of "how to" in the garden, with my gardening books on the patio table - which makes me laugh now, at the memory of it all. Precious happy memories with my son, who had his 'children's garden seeds' pack, and the expression on his dear face as he ran to his own little seed/flower bed each day, to check the progress of each young growing plant.
Almost everything out of the kitchen goes into the Compost Makers - including eggshells (though eggshells crushed and placed around young seedlings - keeps pests from crawling up the stems and munching!) and all newspapers go into the Compost Maker - as dry material.
Aluminium Foil - I have not used that for years now - as what happens to that in the Landfill site? It is not bio-degradable.
Anyway, I could take for hours on the subject, as we do at the local charitable environmental group, that I am an active member of.
Looking forward to Sunday, going with a group on an annual "Bluebell Woods" walk.
I hope you enjoy your weekend.
Love, Leah
