I think that reusing is a very important thing that more people should do. Some good ways of reusing are to purchase some clothes from thrift stores or donate old clothes there, using reusable bags and finding new uses for items that will be going in the garbage. I believe that reducing is just as important or more important than reusing. This is because if you purchase less of something in the first place then you don't need to reuse it. It is especially important to not buy too much food from the grocery store if you know you cant eat that much. In Canada alone, 2.2 million tons of food is wasted each year and 17 billion dollars is lost to buying too much food.

I agree with your statement Thomas K, I agree that we should start to buy more clothing from thrift stores, and only buy food that we need. I also think that we should recycle and reuse more plastic. For example, there is an company that uses recycled plastic to make jackets, bags and other items for outdoor activities. This is a very efficient way to reuse plastic and I think we should apply the same idea to other things like packaging, and cutlery, we could achieve so much if we recycled and reused more plastic.

I agree with what you have to say. I think that even finding new uses for items you are going to throw away is helpful. If you just finished a bag of chips, or have a non recyclable bag/container that will go in the garbage, use it to pick up dog poop. Use the containers berries come in as little planters for succulents or other plants. But I also agree that reducing is just as important, as reusing. When possible it is best to buy items in glass, aluminum, or paper containers, and even before you recycle these items, you can find ways to repurpose them before you do so!

I agree with all of you, at my house we reuse cardboard to make decorative items or crafts me and my siblings make, and you can reuse the plastic bags as garbage bags for smaller trash cans too. I like the idea of using the blueberry contains for small plants, I've tried that before, but maybe I need to research it a bit more. The company that reuses plastic to make their products sounds cool too. And the more that we reuse the more we reduce. I think that if people grow produce at home then it would reduce the plastics that come with those products at the stores too. Even if there is no room for a garden in your yard you can grow more than flowers in window planters. Yes, we should all reuse and reduce and recycle more.
