Brummet, Dave and Lillian. Trash Talk (www.sunshinecable.com/~drumit/trashtalk.html) . Reviewed by Heather Diodati
Do you feel guilty when you throw away things like old brushes, cloth, containers and soap? What...no guilt trip? Well, you may change your mind after reading "Trash Talk".
I am amazed by the amount of research that Dave and Lillian have done. This is a truly indepth study on dealing with waste and it should be on everyone's bookshelf. Trash Talk is full of wonderful ideas on how to re-use items such as pieces of carpet, dryer sheets, nylons, plastic rings, styrofoam and much much more, to make them useful again.
Besides saving money by re-using everyday items, the wonderfully creative ideas in this book will be helpful to the environment by producing less waste. Each chapter ends with a special section on benefits from using the ideas in that chapter by pointing out all the ways you've saved money, improved on natural resources, saved time and perhaps created a new gift.
This comprehensive, easy to understand, manual is recommended for anyone looking to save money, improve their lifestyle and help protect the environment. I know that I'll never again be able to look at my used drying sheets in the same light! The money you save by using some of these ideas will pay for this book many times over.
