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!

Reusing, reducing and recycling is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint. Take plastic water bottles for example. Everyone uses them a lot throughout the year and although throwing them away is easier for you, it’s hard on the environment. Plastic bottles aren’t biodegradable so by reusing and recycling them you’re saving space in land fills for other waste that can biodegrade. There are many more things that you can reuse or recycle that would help the earth. Reuse paper that you haven’t used all the way and recycle paper that you don’t need anymore. By reusing/recycling paper you’re saving natural resources, saving space in land fills for waste that can’t be recycled, and you’re reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Reuse everything possible and recycle things to help your Earth be a healthy place to live.
