Greg Cooper proposes several creative reuse ideas for leftover bread beyond just eating it, including using hollowed out loaves as slippers, hats, oven mitts, place mats, trash bins, money boxes, soup bowls, portable toilets, light shades, golf club covers, handbags, and flower pots. The document suggests that bread can be reframed and given new purposes beyond its typical use as food.
