I was cleaning up around the house last Sunday evening... A drain had clogged, and in the process of getting it unclogged, things had become messy. Since I was cleaning anyway, I took the time to straighten up a few other areas, including some potted plants and cabling. When finished, I had a left-over mint plant, and forty-some feet of damaged Ethernet cable. Since I had plenty of other things to do, and didn't particularly want to do them, I spent a relaxing half-hour knotting a plant hanger with the cable.

Twenty years ago, this would have been called "recycling". But in these enlightened times, I feel fully justified in calling it a "green" plant hanger. Even though it's blue.
