From plastic bags to paper, reusing our waste can be a big benefit not only for the environment, but also for us. When we don't recycle or reuse, these items can end up in places like the ocean where it could affect marine life and sometimes even humans in harmful ways. By reusing items, we don't only prevent destruction in environments around us, but we also save more resources for others. Next time you think of throwing something away in the trash, think of some different ways you could reuse that item for yourself, or recycle it so it could be used by others. For items like clothes, you could try donating them, so that they could be used by someone else who needs them.
