I've been a member of a green-themed social network over at www.greenwala.com for close to nine months now and AltUse is exactly the type of resource that people in that community have been craving. Normally, we just swap our own home remedies (naturally always of a "green nature" but there's just so far that you can go before you end up hitting a wall. Not only do I really appreciate the heads-up on AltUse, I'm going to tell all of my fellow Greenwalas about it and I'm also going to Twitter about it!! Gotta do my part to spread the leafy goodness around. Thanks again!

AltUse is a really fantastic site full of good ideas. I highly recommend visiting it and trying out some of the uses. My favorite is using olive oil to remove sticky adhesive residue.
