First in glass: 10 homegoods for Recycle Glass Month

Celebrate Recycle Glass Month by, umm, recycling glass and sprucing up your home with a few eye-catching recycled glass products ranging from hydroponic herb gardens to stemless wine glasses.

As you may have heard, we're currently in the midst of Recycle Glass Month (FYI, it's also National Chicken Month and National Blueberry Popsicle Month and today is National Date Nut Bread Day). So there's that. If you don't already recycle your glass empties, make September the month that you start to divert your bottles, jars, and what have you from landfills by properly recycling them or reusing them around the house. This especially applies to you, Labor Day party-throwers with 30-plus Corona empty bottles on your hands.
 
To mark this most joyous occasion, here's a look at 10 exceptional products made from recycled glass for around the house (not included is the big stuff like recycled glass insulation and countertops). Sure, Recycle Glass Month is more about doing the deed itself than buying recycled-content homegoods, but if you're in need of a green wedding or housewarming gift or just fancy a new set of wine glasses, look no further. 
 
For more on everything and anything glass recycling related, head on over to Earth911 or, of course, the Recycle Glass Month homepage sponsored by the Glass Packaging Institute.

Have you see our reusable glass water bottle? It's made with a minimum of 75% post-consumer recycled glass with no plastics and is 100% made in North America. Like the products above, we're dedicated to the beauty, safety and health of using glass. www.bottlesupglass.com

You forgot to mention glass mulch ~ it takes about 100 glass tumbled bottles to make one 50 pound bag, it adds beautiful color to your landscaping! Less maintenance because it doesn't decompose or fade over time.
