Reuse First, Then Recycle
Recycling is great. But reusing is better. Lots of stuff that we throw in the recycling bin everyday could be reused first, then recycled. Think about all the paper that comes home from school–the worksheets, the classroom newsletters, the scribbled masterpieces. If the paper is blank on the back, turn it into scrap paper and recycle it only after it’s been written on both sides. The list goes on: Yogurt cups make great paint cups, mustard jars are great for salad dressing, egg cartons are great for starting seedlings. Remember: reduce first, then recycle.
