I like this idea. I believe though that just adding more bugs, trash, and flowers right now just doesn't make any sense until the gaia creators decide to update the usefulness of said items. That being said I would propose, and forgive me if I am repeating that which was already said, that in the case of the bugs other then inks, which are still 'fairly' useful we could use them in fishing as personalized bait... many fishermen do this. As items for our houses such as lightning bug lanterns, or some other more versatile way.
Trash can be recycled into, this I know was already said, clothing or housing items, what about special items to go in the fish tanks. I was also thinking that if the creators could 'attach' a garden to our houses then the trash could be recycled into garden items such as statues or water fountains. The biodegradable items such as the paper could even be 'composted' for the flowers that of course we could grow in the gardens.
The flowers, like the bugs and trash, could be made into housing items, avi items, fish tank items. Although personally I would like to plant them in a garden... if we ever got one ^^'
All this being said and I nearly forgot : I Sign This Petition
