Reuse As Much As Possible

Reuse is a concept that is even older than recycling, yet very few individuals do it. So many of us get into the habit of just throwing stuff away without any thought of how that stuff could have been reused to serve another function. A few examples might be using the bottom of an empty milk jug to make a handy paint holder while painting your home; Or using an old electronic box as a planter to grow seedlings for your garden; Or using wood scraps to make a new picture frame. The possibilities are endless, so think twice before throwing that “stuff” away.

Another way to save is to reuse what you have. Reuse those heavy duty freezer bags. Simply wash them out with soapy water, rinse and air dry. Have you seen the commercials where they reuse a single paper towel and seemingly clean their whole kitchen with it? That always makes me laugh, because it seems unlikely a paper towel would last through that much cleaning, but the point they are making is good.
