Check out what’s new at The Budget Ecoist!

--Dryer lint is soft and fuzzy, but it was never useful. Destined for the trash, lint from synthetic fabric is bad for the environment. Did you know it can be recycled and reused? The Budget Ecoist lets you know about a woman who makes sculptures out of lint, and there’s also ways to use lint in your arts and crafts projects.

--We know there’s a lot of home beauty remedies that will save us loads of money, but The Budget Ecoist teaches us another method: olive oil. It can be used as a cleanser and provider of anti-oxidants to slow down those wrinkles.

--Vacations utilize lots and lots of resources--time, money, energy, and it also produces a lot of...stuff. Tickets, boarding passes, bags and boxes of souvenirs, and much, much more. Learn lots of tips for how to recycle all your vacation junk and be friendlier to the environment.
