Today is very exciting it's the long awaited 'Window wanderland' in Bristol uk.

For those new to the concept, people display anything they like in their windows for a whole weekend and then people walk around to see. Awesome! Even better, the weather seems to be on our side. In our house we have decided to put up some fabric and do a slide show to show the effects of plastic on the planet and offer ideas for reducing using plastic. Hoorah!
I've been looking on google for slide shows and ideas and realised that over the years I have collected lots of ideas here on this blog.... Time for a round up!
