It's very tempting to throw things away or even drop them in a recycling bin when we are done with them. Is there a better way?

Reusing soap bottles
Reusing soap bottles and other plastic bottles used for liquid products would be really easy. Instead of throwing away the bottle and buying a new one every time we run out of soap, we could set up soap dispensing stores where you go to the store to refill your soap bottle. The same thing could be done with other products like cooking oil or milk. https://homeguides.sfgate.com/removing- … 42103.html
I think people should do that it is also useful. Why? Well because we don't have to waste money on thing that can be reused.
I agree, doing this people could help the environment and save money. Also, if people can't reuse their bottles for what they were intended for they can still reuse them in another way like using the bottles as flower pots.

I think this is a great idea and in my local store where my family gets laundry detergent, there’s a dispenser so you don’t have to buy a new container. They also have this for many things in the store like honey, maple syrup, and peanut butter. I think this is super helpful because it costs the costumer less if they bring their own container and it creates much less waste.
I agree. Reusing shampoo bottles is a clean and efficient way for less waste. You could also try and buy bottles in bulk so it will last longer. Once you are done with the bulk bottle, you can still you reuse it, with even less waste!
I think that is a really good idea. I think it is an idea that not many people think about, but it is something that really isn’t that hard to do. Doing this is something that I think could really help the environment. You can also do it with other things, it doesn’t only have to be shampoo bottles. This could help the environment a lot more than people think.
I think they could make dispensers for lots of products that come in plastic bottles such as honey, maple syrup, and peanut butter and I think this is super helpful because their would be less plastics being used and that makes less pollution.
It is a good idea, I will try at home. People don't worry too much about it and recycling is very important. ???
I think one way to do so is to buy a few smaller bottles and once you finish with those buy a big bottle to refill the smaller bottles. I do this because it means that I am not using as much plastic because instead of buying a bunch of small ones I buy a few small ones and a big one resulting in less plastic being used when it doesn’t have to be used. Doing this can apply to condiments, dish soap, hand soap, shampoo, and even water bottles.
I think that reusing materials like shampoo bottles or just containers in general is a great idea. It helps with the amount of waste created from the unnecessary amount of bottles. At many CO-OPs there are dispensers for laundry detergent and even foods like honey, peanut butter, etc. I think that is a great way to be eco-friendly.
