There are so many things you can reuse. You can reuse water bottles so instead of using a new water bottle everyday you can reuse one water bottle for  a longer period of time. Also instead of getting new grocery bags every time you shop,  you can reuse a grocery bag every time you go shopping until it rips. That way a lot of grocery bags wouldn't end up in the garbage and even worse the waters like lakes, rivers, and oceans. There are many other stuff you can reuse but you have to start somewhere.

I'm completely agree with you, i also think that is important to recycle the things after that we have used and reused them

I also agree that it is important to both reuse and recycle. However, I also think it’s important to reduce our consumption rate before we even get to the point of having to think about reusing or recycling. The less unnecessary products you purchase, the less you will have to throw away in the first place. The more we minimize purchases of the things we want, and only buy things we actually need, the better.

I totally agree that reusing and recycling are vital to a sustainable planet. There are many times people throw away plastic water bottles, when in fact, we can use them more than one time. By reusing a water bottle, even if it is just a few times, it stays in the system longer and means less bottles that need to be produced. The less products produced or incinerated will decrease pollution on earth, and less plastic making its way into the oceans. I also think that using a reusable grocery bag is a great idea! Instead of using the plastic/paper bags at stores, bring you own, because it actually will decrease the cost of the food you buy. This is another simps change that, we as people can do, in order to help the environment.

I agree there is so much that can reuse and by simply buying somethings once you can have the product/item for a long period of time and still be able to continue the use that you as a consumer want.
