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?

ways anybody can reduce and recycle
Almost anything that people use in everyday life can be reused or recycled. For instance, both plastic bags and plastic water bottles can easily be reused. You could refill old water bottles or even make pinterest crafts out of them. Reusing plastic bags as trash bags is another useful household way to reuse something. Local stores also have a big recycling bin to dispose of old plastic bags to recycle. In addition, many other commodities, such as paper, can be recycled. There are kits people can invest in to make their own paper out of old paper. Also, both leftover food and yard waste can be composted. My family actually has their own composting box in the backyard, and uses it to benefit their own backyard garden. All of these actions benefit the environment.
That is a good way for people to reduce and recycle
I agree and think that your ways of recycling different materials are helpful and creative. However, more than recycling and reusing, I think people should learn how to use reusable products instead. For example, instead of buying a drink from Starbucks in its plastic cup, we can bring our water bottle with us and use it. We can also replace plastic bags with tote bags or any reusable bag of our own when going shopping or buying groceries. Having some small reusable products like this at home will effectively help us reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to reducing the effects of climate change on our planet.
I agree with your response to the prompt. I believe that humans don’t often realize how much more than just plastic can be recycled. Recycling means to reuse things in a variety of ways. For example when you need a trash bag and don’t want to waste a whole garbage bag, an alternative is to reuse the same one each time.
I agree with the good ideas you have said.and they are very important for the environment and also for ourselves.also use and take advantage of the things we already have at home.for example with some fabrics that we have at home make a bag and use it in the supermarket instead of plastic bags.I could also make it fun to recycle or reuse the materials we already have at home.it even comes to us as a composter in our own garden
