This is a great idea! I teach at a nonprofit after school program and we are always looking for ways to repurpose things. And not just because it saves us money. Repurposing also teaches us all how to look at things in a different way. Using dried markers in itself may not save the world, but if we get into the practice of relooking at our stuff and how we can use every morsel and drop and/or how we can use it in an unintended way and therefore extend it purposeful life, then that may save the world. Also as the person stated that now what do we do with the plastic part of the marker, would you have contemplated that if you hadn't thought about how to re use the ink of the marker?
There is also the case that every time we reuse and repurpose things it means less new things that are bought and made.
Thank you Re-Nest for showing us so many ways to repurpose things. Whether is is an idea that we use or not, it stretches our mind and who knows where that will lead!

How can I buy food from Canada? I think if we all did that, then the US canners would have to follow suit- the market is the only thing that they listen to. Of course, the people who read this blog probably don't eat canned food.
But I want our food to be safe for everyone- and having BPA-free canned goods will really affect those getting food from Food Pantries, etc.

They need to ditch the non-green cleaning products, or else it is just a gimmick.
