Rethink Hanger uses plastic bottles to hold up clothes

The latest weapon in the war on waste: the Rethink, a hanger that's not actually a hanger until you start recycling. Conceived by designer Xuan Yu, it's basically a hook with two holes that hold empty bottles. Once you've polished off a couple of Sprites, screw the bottles into the holes and you've got a deliciously convenient place to hang your shirt — without the awful flatness of a wire hanger. For that heavy fur coat, may I recommend seeking out some of those 3L Cokes from the '80s?

At $8 each, the Rethink won't save you any money, but saving the planet is the prevailing idea, I suppose.
