  Other uses for wine corks and bottles

  I’m a consummate, almost rabid, recycler. Every plastic or paper bag, aluminum and paper scrap gets either reused, recycled or both. It hacks me off to see bottles in the trash, as I envision a massive garbage heap bloated with items rejected by Mother Nature. People have declared with disdain that it costs more to recycle wine bottles than to dispose of them, but generating an avoidable giant trash heap isn’t logical either. So I’ve traveled a third path and found other ways to use the numerous wine bottles and corks laying around my home, from crafty to silly. In honor of Earth Day, here’s a list -- something on here should ring right for you.
