I think there is a better way to use things when we are done with them. To extend the "lives" of our items we can donate and give others the chance to use them. This extends the life of the product because it doesn't get thrown away and a new person gets to use it. I think there are many other ways for us to reuse and recycle products and it is so easy, but still some people choose not to recycle or reuse their boxes to package something else. Another product that people don't really reuse are plastic water bottles. These can be used more than once and if you know that you will only use it once then maybe you could invest in something that you know you will use more then one time. So in conclusion I think that there are many ways to reuse and recycle, but we have to be more mindful of how much we are throwing away and trying to use that in another way.
