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 and Repurpose
A better method compared to recycling and throwing something away is reusing it. For example, throwing away a newspaper that I just read is not the best idea because it can still be used for a different purpose like an art project. Once, I made a ceramic vase out of left over newspaper that I collected over a period of time and it was a fun and also better for the environment. Although recycling is reusing, it also takes a lot of energy to do so which leaves a large carbon foot print. These are the reasons why I think reusing is better than recycling.
