Whenever the time between posts reaches a certain length (in this case more than 10 days) I get weary about posting something especially insightful or the perfect link. Today I have this little video that shows how to get more out of your garbage can. I could argue this to be a garbage hack, perfectly suited for Lifehacker, or that I am saving the ecology with this trick.
Instead I christened it “garbage origami”.

Hi, wife speaking here: I would like to give credit for this cultural technique to Gislaine from Ghana, who was my flatmate in 1996/1997. He brought this to our family – and I still think it’s typical that this kind of thing is not something our throw-away-society would come up with, despite all the green talk. By the way, he did it a little differently: You don’t have to open the lower folds. The effect is the same, however.
