In the office there are so many thing that we throw away everyday, without batting an eyelash. Lots of paper, boxes and other office waste are tossed in the trash without an attempt to reuse or recycle. I want to put an end to this mindless wastage and challenge you all!

Maybe you’re an environmental warrior, green artist, engineer or an artist in a creative rut, struggling for inspiration for you next masterpiece? Whoever you are I challenge you to find a creative, innovative and lasting use for these empty CD cases.

I have taken some of the plastic lids home in a bid to reduce the waste. I made a few small holes in the bottom of the lids, turned them over, and am now using them as seedbeds for my flower and vegetable seedlings in the garden. My 3-year-old son – with a little inspiration from his mum – has also started his own mini-garden using the lids. But this is just me … an “unartistic”, “uncreative” person. I’m sure all the colourful, creative-geniuses in our local artistic community will come up with something even better, and more interesting.

So go on … get creative … go green. I DARE YOU!
