A second opinion

M's residency is over, thankfully, and I ran across his old white coats. They had been severely miss treated over the last 6 years. From the floors of the ICU, to the Emergency room, they have seen their way around the hospital. Stains on the cuffs, and pen marks in the pocket.
The fate of these coats was written on the wall. Or was it?

Ceremonial burning? Too Hot.
The Morgue? Too Creepy
Trash? Maybe

I felt bad just tossing the coats that were a staple in his wardrobe for so many years. I figured I could do something with them. So I cut the name out, and got to sewing. M is a big coffee drinker, and always is in need of a reusable coffee sleeve. I threw some blue fabric on the back (similar to his blue scrubs), and violia! A personalized, history filled coffee cozy!
It was a big hit in the office. The second calling for the coats, very useful!

Java Junkies!

Do you get your fix of coffee everyday? You need to get the ultimate in eco-friendly fashion. The remarkable, reusable coffee sleeve. Check out Threadbeaur for great coffee sleeves made from salvaged fabric. Fabric with a history, and trying to avoid the landfill, given a second life as an everyday useful item. Green fashion is everywhere you look, from reusable shopping bags, to the ability to buy offsets for your carbon footprint. Why not just reduce your carbon footprint on your own. There are small things that we can do everyday to reduce our waste. Just like getting a reusable coffee cozy instead of the cardboard offered in the local coffee shop. If everyone did this think of all the room we have saved in our landfills! It adds up.
