a topic in 2008 Virgins sparked this idea. Someone asked about gifting, which brought up the LED vs. Glow debate. I'd rather see people buy some glow bracelets if they're going to gift illumination. They can be used for everything from bike and tent markers, to people and bag illumination. Since they can wrap around or through most things they are more useful than a standard stick.
Which led me to the belief that glow bracelets (not sticks) can actually be used in a number of ways, even when the glow is gone. Making them more eco-friendly than glow sticks or dollar blinkies that can't/won't be reused*. Here are two ideas I had right off the top of my head for reusing dead glow bracelets.
1) fixing the broken toilet paper dispenser in the potties when the glow has worn out (I can't tell you how many times I've done this)
2) wrap colored tape around them in different designs (like a hula hoop) and still use them as bracelets when they're done (which you can then re-gift to fellow burners)
What can you think of? How can we reduce and reuse?
[* see my post from last year for a trial run proving this]

Tue, February 19, 2008 - 9:04 AM*L* I supposed you could create a makeshift cockring if you wrap it around twice and fasten it. that kinda depends on your size I suppose. ;)
or you could fasten 2 together for some rubber handcuffs.
or link a whole bunch together and make a plastic dog collar and chain, lead your partner around the playa with recycled goodness. -

I'm always very responsible with my glowy raver toys. I'm sorry that some people aren't. -

Mon, March 31, 2008 - 7:11 PMprevious post was deleted for being unnecessarily aggro, unproductive and typed in all caps. ;)
I'm too tired today to mediate and play all diplomatic for something that extreme. so I called upon the mighty mod powers of "delete post".
opposing opinions are welcome just learn to "use your words", people.

A hoop skirt.
Tue, February 19, 2008 - 12:11 PMMake a giant spiral coil from them, starting smallish, and growing large. The smallest part would fit over your hips to form the waistline of the skirt, the largest would be the bottom. Use bright tape to tape them together so the connectors don't pop off. Maybe string to hold the spiral together vertically so it doesn't unwind. Cover the whole thing in a sheer fabric or maybe ribbons woven thru the rings. -

Wed, February 27, 2008 - 12:14 AMoh, another thought...
a lightweight carabiner clip: loop it through the zipper pull or strap on your hydration pack, and use it to keep items handy like sanitizer or sunscreen.
or attach some together vertically with zipties, making a kind of African inspired necklace.
