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?

second hand clothing and furniture
To some it doesn't sound clean or good but going to second hand clothing stores is a great way to reuse other peoples clothes or other items they don't want or need. Going to second hand stores can also give you the clothing you desire to cut and make into something new and different. Also, you can go to a second hand furniture place which will help save wood and lessen the use of bad chemicals that the wood is treated with. This simple act of taking someone else's unwanted or unneeded belongings can lessen the wast we produce.
I agree! Using old clothing keeps it from being thrown away and adding to our ever growing waste and trash in the world. This also applies to old furniture. I definitely agree with this response.
