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: Better than recycling
Repurposing is an excellent way to help conserve resources. I always try to reuse old water bottles as frequently as I can in order to save resources. I also reuse old newspapers and blankets as toys and furnishings for my dog's habitat. I always thought that recycling was a great way to help conserve but according to this article written in the New York Times, recycling can be very time consuming and expensive for little benefit. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/04/opini … .html?_r=0
