Glassware made from recycled car parts
The EU requires that cars be 85% recyclable. And while there's no such mandate in the US, some American car parts certainly get recycled. But what exactly does that mean? When you trade in your European junker, do its parts wind up in other cars? Do they become aluminum cans? Probably. But it turns out you can also buy attractive glassware made from recycled windshields.
Unccommon Goods sells wine and beer glasses and even a fish bowl (which looks a bit more likg a fish jug to me). A set of two glasses will set you back $20 to $22, and the fish bowl is $65. You can certainly find cheaper glassware. But we gaurantee that these glasses will be a better conversation piece than whatever you find at K-Mart.
