All of those cassette tapes being thrown into our trash dumps are really starting to add up. Piles and piles of Journey tapes lie waste, just waiting for a superhero to come and recycle them into a constructive use.

If you don’t have the patience to create an artist’s likeness with the innards of a cassette, maybe these Recycled Cassette Tape Neckties will strike your fancy. If there’s one thing I never even thought to imagine, it was that I’d be wearing cassette tapes in the future as formal wear. But hey, whatever works, right?

Yanked directly from the screen of Super Mario Bros., the Piranha Plant iPhone case is made with a double-layer of Eco-felt, which is composed of 100% consumer recycled water bottles.

Sold out for now, I’d keep an eye on Etsy to see if any more of these are put on the block. Just remember, you have to time it perfectly. Wait for the plant to be all the way down before jumping into the secret sewer pipe level.

Let’s keep the scratchin’ going to the early morn. Yeahhhh, boooooy.

Made using an old, retired Fischer turntable and a rockin’ Doobie Brothers vinyl album, the Turntable Clock WAS available on Etsy, but has since sold out. I’m guessing there was only one available in the first place, but who knows, more might pop up if you’re lucky,

Hey, at least he isn’t pooping.

This is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. You plug it in. He pisses. End quote. Oh, and you don’t even need a USB port. Batteries are also fine for some authentic pissing action. Thanks so much Thanko for another irreplaceable and essential gadget. What would we do without you.

I can’t be too sure whether these are women’s exclusive or if dudes can rock these bad boys as well. I don’t care how queer it might sound, I would totally rock a pair of these. I’d rock them like a hurricane. I’d rock them like a lobster. I’d rock them like Zeppelin. You get the point?

Even if they were only woman sizes, I’d get a size 15 pretend and I didn’t know. If rocking these Wonder Woman Reeboks is feminine, then I am woman, here me roar mothatrucka. If I ever get my hands on one of those exclusive pairs of Nike sneakers, these would fit right in.

Unless you have a huge family, crafting a jacket out of empty Capri Sun containers is going to require two sacrifices. Lots of drinking and lots of peeing. In fact, you’ll probably wind up doing both at once if you really want to finish this jacket in record time.

Made using almost solely empty Capri Suns (with the exception of snap closures) the Capri Sun Jacket is the coolest way to show off your obsession for the sugar-packed fruit juices.

Have a few dead computer mouses laying around? They’re probably sitting in the same spot you keep the skeletons in your closet. You might be having some trouble parting with them. And that’s fine, totally normal. People become attached to inanimate objects all the time.

So, if you want to actually do something USEFUL with those dead mice, you might as well sit down at your work bench for a few minutes, wipe down the foot of dust on its surface from its lack of use, and strip down the mouse so you can use it as a nifty toothbrush / razor holder. Why the hell not, right?

There have been countless methods of recycling your old, abandoned, bong water-stained vinyl, but none that have integrated the actual casing and cover art as well. If you have such epic records as Led Zeppelin’s IV, there is no reason NOT to show them off some how.

BUGHOUSE designed this unique record table, which would fit spectacularly into your den of devil worship. It’s much more thoughtful than simply throwing them in the trash bin, surely.

Titled “The Renovation Lampshade”, this beautiful design is the creation of Daria Burlinska and Wojtek Traczyk. The team came up with the idea through cast off plastics and organic lines. I think it looks absolutely beautiful, though a bit like crumpled up paper in a waste bin.

If Star Wars was reproduced as a modern parody, who would be cast in the hilariously sacrilegious resulting film? Photoshop contest headquarters Worth1000.com has it covered with their Celebrity Star Wars contest.

My three favorites are Yoda DeVito, Ewokchop and Elvis Solo. Lambchop just looks so much cuddlier as an Ewok!
