I attended a small country school in rural Georgia in the 1960's, one of my favorite teachers taught us how to make candles from used crayons. That memory has stayed with me all my life, I can still remember the smell while we watched as they melted and remember how excited the whole class was that we were taking a candle home that we made at school. That is also how the founder of one of the largest candle makers in the US got started, Mike Kittredge, too broke to buy his mother a present, melted some crayons to make her a candle. A neighbor saw it and convinced Mike to sell the candle to her. That was the birth of Yankee Candle. Not only is going green great for the environment, it can be the inspiration behind someones dreams. Your item # 2 on making candles from crayons brought back a few memories for me.
