Got any old bicycle inner tubes lying around? Both Sarahbelly and I commute to corporate slavery via treadlies, along debris ridden 
roads and bike paths. When your tube becomes more 
patch than tyre why not cut them into strips and use them as soft, stretchy, recyclable plant ties. You can cut them as long as you like for different needs, and you get a lot of them from one tube.

Hey Guys, great tip! Missed Josh telling us that one. Finally a use for all those tubes.
