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.

It’s been around forever in one form another, whether back when your grandmother reused glass bottles for canning or in 2014 when a truck comes around to pick up all those empty soda cans you put out at the end of your driveway. which refurbishes your phone for reuse or removes the parts and uses them for other phones.

Think outside the gift giving box this season; look at old unused items that may have parts that can be reused for other interesting and unique gifts. Cover thrift store finds such as boxes and crates with dish shards for an awesome magazine rack. Two liter soda bottles become holders for hair accessories in the bathroom.

Why not reuse and save some money! #1 For outside the kitchen, you can use this to give beat-up, dusty, wooden sofa legs a store-like finish as well. #2 Do you have any other way you use orange peels?
