Back in July, Gregory gave us suggestions on how to re-use green tea leaves as a natural deodorizer to freshen up the home. We like this idea of re-using the leaves for a completely different purpose other than brewing a beverage, so we found some other tips for used dried green tea leaves (called "chagra"). After the jump, we explain how to properly dry the leaves for re-use, and then tell you more about using chagra.

We replaced our vinyl shower liner with a new curtain, but we felt bad about just chucking the old one in the trash. We decided to keep it to use around the house because it seemed like something that could come in handy. We're glad we did, because we've already used it a multiple times as a drop cloth when we've painted. After the jump, read a few more ideas for re-purposing a vinyl shower curtain.

Whether you're for it or against it, the $700 billion bailout bill was signed into law. And believe it or not, there's something in the bill that makes us glad that we use our bike for transportation -- Sec. 211, titled "Transportation fringe benefit to bicycle commuters."

We're really pleased that San Francisco's been trying so hard to promote responsible disposal of hazardous wastes, batteries, and electronic devices. The other day, we received a handy brochure in the mail listing more than 100 local businesses that accept these materials from San Francisco residents.
