Okay, I probably say this every week, but I am repeatedly amazed at the creativity demonstrated by some people's recycling efforts! This Wednesdays 'recycling and helping animals' feature is very sports related. It involves tennis balls and old inner tubes from cycle tires - Whatever next!
The Dog Bed from
Hugh Hayden Design has been constructed entirely of recycled tennis balls from the New York Metropolitan area that are woven together in a tight hexagonal pattern. Plop a cushion on the top and you have a comfy bed totally made from recycled materials. At the moment they are just for smaller dogs up to 25lbs but bigger ones will be coming out soon. If you throw the bed, your dog will probably bring it back :-)
Cycle dog make collars and leashes from recycled bike inner tubes! Apparently, in the US there are over 60 million bike riders and that can mean a lot of flat tires and old inner tubes. So, why not make a dog collar and leash with them instead of adding them to landfills. All you need do is to take your old tube to a dealer or send them to Cycle Dog and they will be put to good use. How very innovative is that!
