Easy ways to reuse and repurpose
Many people simply don't Reuse their resources because they don't know-how. There are so many easy ways to do such. For example, you can save any plastic bottles or straws clean them and use them again for water or other beverages. Or if you make pasta instead of dumping that water down the sink you can use it to water your plants. Reusing doesn't have to be about water, you can reuse old towels or blankets or you can simply give them to shelters. Reuse and Repurpose doesn't mean you have to be the one to reuse it. There are often situations where someone can use your old items like baby clothes or clothing you have outgrown. Simply thrift shopping can do a lot to help the environment, plus its often more affordable. These are just a few ways to help the environment, there are so many ways that one can reuse and repurpose.
I agree I don't really think a lot of people are aware of how to reuse their resources. There are easy ways to reuse the things we have in our home and can also limit the amount of waste we all use. In my house, we try to limit the amount of water we use, like for dishes and how long we take showers. It is a good way to to help the environment by doing the best u can to help these causes.
