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!

Reusing/Repurposing Items

ClaraC

In my family, we try to reuse or repurpose things often. For example, we repurpose clothes by donating them. I have also seen others using old clothes to make bags or other objects. Another thing my family reuses is water bottles. If we happen to use a plastic water bottle, we can fill it up to use it again. We can also reuse other everyday items. In my house, we use mason jars or other cans to organize pencils and other school supplies. My mom also uses mason jars as flower vases. If we use our creativity, we can find many ways to repurpose old items into something new.

My family also donates clothes and other things that we don't use much anymore. I think more people should donate their stuff that they don't touch because other people can get a better use of it. My family also reuses plastic water bottles. We used to buy multiple plastic water bottles in the store all the time but now we reuse the same water bottles everyday. It's cheap and it's also helping the environment.

I think that using mason jars or other containers to store and organize things is a great idea! As you said, I like using worn out or damaged clothes to make a variety of objects. I agree that using your creative mind is a fun way to repurpose old items.
