The big R, what is it? Reuse, remember that song as a kid? “Reduce, reuse, recycle…” that’s what I’m talkin’ about. It’s the idea of a green economy and a green infrastructure, which involves a difference in lifestyle, a green lifestyle.
We need to reuse everyday items to keep the environment and to have less pollution through our junk. Numerous items throughout the day can be reused within the household alone rather than thrown away because of their ‘junk’ status.
I think about water bottles, lids, packages, and so on. There are many things to reuse. For instance, think about when you go out to groceries, I think about it. I reuse the plastic carrier bags when I do go out for garbage bags later on. What? Yup!
That’s one way to make your lifestyle more green and efficient, and less polluting. You can lightly twist tie the plastic bags, then untie them later after groceries and use them for the garbage. You can think about envelopes. Envelopes can be used again and again for cards, kid crafts, and so on. It just takes a little creativity.
You can cut them up. You can make hanging stars. You can use them for the practice of math. Tons of little things add up. Jars and pots are part of this as well. They can be used for canning – if cleaned. What about for indoor gardening? They can be used for makeshift plant containers in household. Lots of things.
We can be more green as we make a healthier environment in the long run. And why not?
