Your mother was right. Although you might never admit it, in this case it’s true. Remember all those sheets of aluminum foil she saved and reused when you were little? Turns out she was part of the green movement before it was cool to be green. Take some advice from your mother with these clever ideas for recycling aluminum foil:
- Sharpen dull scissors by cutting through folded up foil that is six to eight layers thick. Cut through the stack a few times to achieve maximum sharpness.
- Crumple it up and throw it into the dryer with your clothes to reduce static electricity.
- Hang strips of foil on strings around your garden to keep away deer, rabbits, birds and other unwanted wildlife. Also, wrap it loosely around the base of new plants to keep bugs and insects from eating the stems.
- Roll up your sleeves and use a little elbow grease (and foil) to remove rust from steel and chrome pieces, including your grill, the oven or pots and pans.
- Save it for your 10th wedding anniversary! Believe it or not, aluminum gifts are traditionally exchanged on this landmark. Better start practicing your creativity now!
