I am all about reuse but I think reuse has to be profitable (i.e. mix with new product) and this hanger does just that. We need more examples like this one. I am building a website (http://www.facebook.com/pages/ReUseConnection/253021991560) for global knowledge sharing around reuse. We hope to spur eco-innovation for ideas just such as this. Thanks again for the article and the great example. Warmest wishes, Ian Moise imoise@reuseconnection.com @ianmoise Hi Lea,

But we are ignoring whole countries with millions of poor people who could use anything to help them repurpose some of the waste their governments might not be capable or willing to handle. I would have to agree with the post, if it was made of recycled materials then it would be more green but I think it's a passable interim, low-energy use way to resuse bottles. Another plus would be that it's a great way to hide and/or store small things like jewelry or change. Or mabye poke small holes in the to store moth balls or sachets.

Unfortunately, most current water battles are so thin as to be more like plastic bags with screw tops. They just would not be sturdy enough to hold a shirt.
