One of my first lessons as a college student was the importance of duct tape. Duct tape is a magical tool that can be used to fix just about anything.
Is the binding on your organic chem book coming apart?
Slap on some duct tape!
Are your flip flops in serious need of replacement?
No problem! Just fix them up with a little duct tape.
Most recently, I watched a fellow AmeriCorps turn a fashion emergency into a fashion statement with two pieces of duct tape. Speaking of fashion statements, check out the winners of this year’s “Stuck at Prom” contest, which challenges contestants to create a prom ensemble using duct tape.
You may not have time to create anything that elaborate, but the next time you make a trip to the supermarket, pick up a roll of duct tape for your disaster kit. Actually, pick up two—one for your kit and one for your purse ;)
For a list of items to keep in your disaster kit, go to www.redcross.org.
How has duct tape helped you in the past? Post your comments below.
