Recycling is great for the environment and we should all be doing it (in spite of my title), but reusing is even better. When you can reuse or re-purpose an item, you are not only saving it from the landfills, but you are also saving the expense and energy which would have been expended when you recycle. Clothes pins.

My son was delighted with the used sewing machine my mother bought for him. From photography to woodworking to painting to sewing, you can use your talents to create personal and unique gifts. You can make dessert breads, cookies, candies, and a number of other items and give them as gifts. Buy Vintage. You can also bake items.

Tip # 2 Recycle/reuse costumes. If you sew, take off the buttons, zippers, lace, netting or whatever to use later. Use the pulp for pumpkin bread, cookies, pies, soups and more. What do you do to recycle/reuse on Halloween? No kids = no money on candy = no candy wrappers in the landfill. Re-purpose the used costume.
