We throw many things away without considering what else they could be used for. I believe there are multiple uses for things that we never think of. One thing many people throw out is plastic grocery bags. With the amount of bags given out to people each day, think of the impact these bags would have in landfills and on our earth. I have found that these can be used for so much more than carrying what you buy in the store. When I take my sports bag to school, I put my shoes in a plastic grocery bag. This keeps the shoes from stinking up my bag and it keeps my uniform nice and clean. When I go swimming at a friends house, I put my wet clothes in a grocery bag before putting into my sleepover bag. This keeps my other clothes dry.  Shoe boxes can also be reused before they are thrown out. These boxes are a great way to store things in your closet and under your bed. I have also many times found myself using old shoeboxes for a school project. The next time you throw something out think about. What else could you use that for?

I think this is a really good idea, families should start reusing the boxes and bags that they get their groceries and shoes and other objects in. I think another great way for people to find ideas on what to do with is stuff instead of just throwing it away is to go to websites that have different DIY ideas to reuse packing like http://www.pinterest.com/manillapins/cr … n-your-ho/ .
