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?

Paper Bags
We have all been to Safeway or the local super market and have used the paper bags they give you to carry your food. Yes these bags are recyclable, but you can reuse them even more. I have used them as a recycle bag under my sink. We may reuse the same bad up to four times because it is still in good condition. Don't just throw out these bags once you get home; use them for as many things as you can think of and prolong their life.
You can also take them to the grocery store and use them again. You could also use it as a grocery bag and this would help with using less plastic bags.
Yeah thats a great idea I've never thought of that!
