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
A good way to reuse and repurpose would be to thrift clothing, eat all leftovers before making more food, and use things you think are useless and give them a purpose to lessen your carbon output, so, like cans or bottles, could be repurposed to hold other things like jewelry, hair ties, and other items to help lessen the waste.
I'm a big advocate for thrift shopping, especially if one can't afford to buy name-brand clothing articles. Thrift stores are easy to find, and the prices for the clothes are much less compared to clothes in bigger stores (Walmart, Target) or name-brand stores (Hollister, Levi's).
Repurposing items to give them a 'second-life' is also smart. There are myriads of videos on YouTube that can help a person craft useful items with random, household objects that are usually thrown away.
