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!

Glass jar

There are many cool ways to reuse glass jars than just to recycle it. Reusing takes a lot less energy than recycling it because there are pieces of equipment used to compact or do the process of recycling the items. But reusing them takes alot less energy because there is no equipment involved (like machines). The cool ways to reuse glass jars are to use glass jars as food preservation storage units, craft, hardware and other small object organizing, sprouting, storing seeds, natural room scents (natural room scents instead synthetic ones because synthetic ones have chemicals that can cause harm to human body), storage for spices and bulk items, baking and cooking in jars and can be used to put sewing kit into. It can also be used as a soap dispenser and can be used as a snack carrier. These are the cool ways in which we can reuse the jar instead of recycling it, which saves energy.

I agree. My sister and mom sometimes put plants into the jars and hang them up, and it serves as really cool decorations. We also use jars as cups most of the time, and theyre great to hold smoothies because you can close them and shake them up.
