I am constantly inspired by green living. It's fascinating and fun to think of ways to have less trash, to reuse/repurpose things, and to donate/recycle the things I do not use.
For example, I save my wine corks in a pretty glass jar. When the jar gets full, i put the corks in a zippie, write "craft supplies" on the bag with a sharpie, and donate it to a thrift store. Or offer it free on Freecycle or Craigslist.
I do the same with other things, like candle stubs, misc office supplies, unused holiday cards, magazines, bubble wrap/packing peanuts/mailing supplies and even empty glass jars that have clean lines or interesting shapes. There are so many fun ways to keep things out of the waste stream.
