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!

Excessive Packaging

Buhg1

A big problem that I have noticed when going shopping around various stores, is the amount of packaging used for smaller things. If you have ever been to a tech store, like best buy, the smallest things, like a bluetooth dongle will have a huge piece of cardboard with text on it compared to the small electronic. Amazon also has this problem, most of the time the boxes will be almost twice as big as the thing shipped inside of it.

I absolutely agree, it is ridiculous that so many tiny things come in such huge packages. So much of what we get in the mail or at the store has a lot of unnecessary garbage attached to it that we just end up throwing away.
