Thank you for sharing - I enjoyed reading your poems!

What a world it could be if everyone valued sustainable and renewable habits and processes over economic gain. I am currently doing research on using fruit wastes (like apple and grape pomace) as substrates in a biorefinery concept and although a lot of science areas are looking at changing our ways to better care for the planet, it would help a lot if those in power across the globe felt the same moral responsibility...

Have a great weekend as well!

Reuse, repurpose, recycle. Always a good policy in stewarding our planet. Here are two poems I thought you might be interested in reading in light of "reuse, repurpose, and recycle.

Have a great weekend!
I'm very sorry, I apologize to everyone involved. I did not know I could not share a link to poems relevant to the conversation. Won't do that again.

I used to when I was a kid!
I remember buying at least one new bookmark with every scholastic sale in school. I even have a box that contains a bunch of my collectibles from when I was young and several of my favorite bookmarks are still saved!

I love collecting bookmarks. Selecting the perfect bookmark for a book is something I love to do while reading.

Yes, I love to collect bookmarks. Usually, I make bookmarks myself and I have a collection of them. Making bookmarks and collecting them has become my hobby.

I can't read a book without a bookmark (except poetry). So, I buy bookmarks and I love buying them.

I don't collect them because I have a tendency to lose them somehow. But I make my own with fake crystals and washi tape, and they are really cute.

I just use the closest piece of paper that I can grab. I always seem to lose my book marker.

I have improvised the use of bookmarkers. Instead of collecting a bookmarker, I use a money note. I use this as a way of rewarding myself because anytime I finish reading the book, I use the money to buy something.

I used to, but there was a point when I had so many collections (I used to say that I collect collections) and I had to get rid of some of them, and this one was one of the sacrificed.

I used to, but then I found I never really used them, so I've stopped. I still have a box of them somewhere on those rare occasions when I have the need.

On travels I pick up free bookmarks from libraries and have a beautiful collection from various regions and countries. I also embroider bookmarks. And I enjoy using them!

I used to. Once I started getting into ebooks though, I stopped. I used to crochet them if I needed one or was bored. Haven't done it in a while though.
