If you're into crafting, you can do green crafting for free. Recycle plastic bags or other materials to crochet, knit or sew cool eco-friendly items. I have free patterns and lots of ideas at http://www.myrecycledbags.com for anyone interested. It's wonderful to use recycled materials for crafting as your projects are basically free!
