Other Reuse Ideas
Do you have a problem with birds attacking your fruit trees? CD’s and video tape can be used to scare them away! Tie the disks to the branches of the tree and the light reflected from the shiny side of the disks will help to keep your fruit trees safe. Tie long pieces of video or cassette tape to branches as the wind blows the tape, the movement will frighten the birds away from your harvest.
Ever go hiking or backpacking? Keep a CD in your pack to be used as a signal mirror, just in case you get lost!
