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?

Instead of just throwing things out or recycling them, we could just reuse them at home. If you end up with an empty container or plastic bag, instead of just recycling it you just put it to use in your own house.
I agree! I think that if there are items that can be reused you should. Many containers and jars can be reused for various things, which will help contribute to buying less containers to store food or other items in. Obviously there are certain things you can’t reuse but if recycling is an option available to you, that should be your next step. Instead of throwing out an old jar or container, think about if it could be reused in any way.
