I've purchased several real ones over the years and am kind of tired of the maintenance and purchase of distilled waterI'm just looking for a successful homemade version that somebody has had some luck withOne method I've heard of is putting a bowl of water in front of the register/exhaust ventAny other ideas? It is for a small bedroom.Thanks!
Plastic bottles are more recyclable then others.
The material that can undergo more recycles is the glassMetals rusts, polymers decompose, and it is necessary to add virgin material to recycle them, but glass can be recycled indefinitely.
Glass is not only the most recyclable because it's easy to crush and remelt, it is the most plentiful, as it is made of silica, stuff that comes from sandThe best things to do in our daily lives to recycle are: 1) Use a tote bag or paper bags instead of those plastic baggies at the grocery store2) Buy as little prepackaged food as possible; make from scratch3) Buy used; consignment and thrift stores have plenty of what we need4) Don't buy uncessary crapThere should be a law against Big Mouth Billy Bass and the like.
You are on the right trackTry getting one of the large filter wicks used for example in a Holmes Humidifier, and just stand it up in the bowl of waterSo now the wick is bringing more water up into the path of the hot air streamIt's what I doI works OK If the bowl is too small try using a flat bottom Turkey roasting aluminum pan - it's made of heavy foil it cost about $1.85 at any supermarket.
