Recycled With Purpose

Taking often discarded items and giving them NEW purpose FOR a purpose

[recycledwithpurpose]

Sent a handful of these to Montana this week!  They’re on their way to becoming Nerdfighter art perks at this year’s Project for Awesome.  Can’t get a finger on what these are?  They’re Hanklerfish crocheted from plastic shopping bags!  Check out more of my recycled goods at www.etsy.com/shop/RecycledWithPurpose.  DFTBA!

This is my contribution to the Nerdfighter Art perk for the 2015 Project for Awesome!  These are hand etched glass coasters with vinyl feet.  

Proceeds from these coasters will be donated to the Project for Awesome through December 12th 2015 and to The Foundation to Decrease World Suck beyond the 12th. Enjoy and DFTBA!

The very first Project for Awesome was organized in 2007, and has been held every year since. Starting in 2014, Project For Awesome will change dates, now occurring annually on the second Friday & Saturday of December, which this year is December 11-12. During Project for Awesome, thousands of people post videos about and advocating for charities that decrease the overall level of world suck. As a community, we promote these videos and raise money for the charities. In 2014, the community raised over $1.2 million, including several generous matching donations. These were split between Save the Children, Partners in Health and twenty charities chosen by the online video community. Legally speaking, the Project for Awesome is a project of the Foundation to Decrease World Suck, Inc. a Montana based 501(c)3 charitable organization (more info below).

The Foundation to Decrease World Suck was informally created in 2007, and became a real entity in November 2011, when it was incorporated as a non-profit corporation in the State of Montana. The IRS designated the Foundation a 501(c)3 charity on January 23, 2013. The FTDWS is 100% volunteer operated and exists solely for the purpose of fundraising for the benefit of other non-profit organizations. The majority of fundraising is transacted through and during the annual Project for Awesome.
