Reuse & Repurpose

It's very tempting to throw things away or even drop them in a recycling bin when we are done with them. Is there a better way?

Share your ideas for extending the “lives” of the items that we buy and use, and their packaging as well!

We need to stop buying always new clothes and especially new clothes you dont need, you can buy very high quality clothes at thrift shops.

I agree with this because clothes can last a long time and the packaging for new ones usually gets sent to landfills.

I agree with this, We need to limit our buying of new things, especially if were able to, i do wish though you could have added something about fast fashion and how if you have money if you could buy from sustainable stores!

Yes, this is a good idea.  New clothes are a big contributor to Carbon Emissions because they have to:
1.Get made in a factory, which pollutes the air
2. Get shipped to the store, in a truck or plane, which even further pollutes the air,
3. Replace old clothes which are most likely not recyclable and end up in landfill.

Buying used clothes OR not buying new clothes at all will greatly reduce emissions.

This is true, there are cheaper options available, which cost way less for us, and the environment's health.

I definitely agree with this argument. It is extremely easy to buy secondhand clothes rather than new ones, and it also affects the environment in a positive way.

I agree with this but if people really want new clothes they can either donate the clothes to a charity or sell the clothes so that they could be used by other people and not go to waste.

I agree with this to an extent. I say this because there are some things that you just can’t get used, at least in my opinion. Some examples would be underclothes, sweatsuits, and certain types of hats. Some things, however, I think you should never get new. An example of these would be belts.
