Not sure if this is a "green" type thing, but I thought it was a cool way to reuse something. In my classroom, instead of just throwing away those cardboard milk cartons, we used them as a support for graham cracker houses. The kids used "glue" that some commented smelled very similar to frosting and then added candy on them. They were small, individual houses, but really fun to make. I am sure the parents just through away those milk cartons a few days later, so the reuse idea went out the door, but at least I tried!!
