Genius!

This photo, which has been making the rounds here on Tumblr, and on Pinterest and Facebook, shows us a simple plastic jug repurposing idea: Cut off the handle part of a discarded plastic container, and use it as a scoop/shovel/dustpan. (Genius, indeed!) Chances are, you’ve seen it already.

What you probably haven’t seen, though, are other jug uses from the person who initially circulated this photo [actually, these photos (plural)].

I (Molly) dug around online and found this source, a Naver blog, for the above photos. On that Naver blog, I also spotted this post highlighting this shoe storage idea: Maximize shelf space by “stacking” shoes in … plastic jugs! Also genius!

For a more whimsical use of plastic jugs, making toy trucks from them (as featured in this earlier Unconsumption post) still gets high marks from me. 

Tell us if you’ve come across other plastic container-related reuse ideas that you think we should know about.

How To Know if an Avocado is Ripe

Squeezing the fruit is a good way to determine its doneness—the flesh should yield to moderate pressure—but it’s also a good way to mistake a bruised avocado for a ripe one. To be sure, flick the small stem of the avocado. If it comes off easily and you can see green underneath it, the avocado is ripe. If the stem does not come off or if you see brown underneath it, the avocado is not ripe.
