    I loved this challenge it really made me think of what I was throwing away. I thought that doing this challenge made me think of creative ways to really reduce me trash and even make some cool crafts using 'trash'.  For example along time ago I made an earring holder out of a paint canvas and I decided not to put my earrings there anymore so instead of throwing it out I used paper mache to cover the holes and now I have a brand new canvas to paint on.
