Eco-Friendly Fire-starter
By Mia Rotell
National Recycling Day is Nov. 15. It’s a day dedicated to repurposing everyday items and reducing waste — a.k.a., stop throwing so much stuff away. Items that would be thrown away can be turned into new ones instead — like lint inside empty toilet paper rolls become great instant fire starters for fireplaces and bonfires. It also helps reduce the world’s amount of trash and is a cost-effective, fun way to help the earth while toasting up during the chilly season.
What You’ll Need:
- An empty toilet paper roll
- Lint from 5-6 loads of laundry
How to Make it:
- Save dryer lint from washing five to six loads of laundry.
- Get an empty toilet paper roll.
- Put the lint inside the roll (it should fill the entire inside)
Light the bottom right or left end of the roll. Once it catches, quickly put it in a fireplace, bonfire, or whatever else desired.
Tip: Don’t have an empty toilet paper roll? Cut a paper towel roll in half — or cut it up into four to five slivers for larger areas like bonfires.
