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. Plastic trash bags.

In my area a smaller bin equates to a smaller land tax bill. Ny taking your own bags, reusing plastic bags you already have or even sewing some fabric bags from old t-shirts and things you can save a lot. Learn to reduce, reuse recycle everything. Reduce what you consume, reuse what you can and recycle the rest.

Learn to hem and patch and sew on buttons to repair minor issues with clothing. Donate good clothing you really can’t use to a non-profit and bank the tax deduction. Get some shoe polish and shine up those old shoes, take them to a shoe repair shop to have the re-heeled or soled if they are worn down. Buy good clothing, used.
