Have you ever thought of what to do with your old out of service satellite dish?
Maybe you thought of decorating it. Here are some ideas that you could do as a
recycling project.
BTW, the old large satellite dishes were mostly made of fiberglass or mesh. The
new smaller ones are made of metal.
Mirror & stained glass can be used to create work of art, painting the dish with
murals, state flags, stars, etc. (more…)

I had a comment asking how to tell if your dishwashing liquid is petroleum-based.
Well, good question, since the major brands don’t list the ingredients on the
bottles. What the bottles are quick to say is no phosphates and biodegradable
anionic surfactants (whew! That twisted my tongue just typing it). You’re lulled
