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?

Reuse and repurpose
To extend the “lives” of the items that we buy and use, and their packaging as well, we can:
-make laundry detergent from soap slivers by mashing them together
-reduce food waste by composting food scraps, and donating unused food to food banks or shelters
-buy products made with recycled content or that have minimal packaging. This can help reduce the demand for new materials and save energy and resources
-can turn broken jewelry into Christmas ornaments
- use plastic bottles for garden
