Let's reuse and recycle!

Waste isn't waste until we waste it - unknown


Trashcan isn't always the answer to disposing of unwanted things around us. Most of them can be recycled and made into something new or something more beautiful than what it is.

Ever since I was a kid I've already seen how Mom keeps on keeping things and reusing them while Dad keeps on disposing of them. I wasn't aware then that what she did was recycling all I know is she washed the bottle of peanut butter or the bottle of mayonnaise and put it in the cupboard. She keeps the gallons of ice cream and used it as a storage for meat and fish before it was put on the freezer.

I love to recycle things too. I love recycling papers, cups, cloth, pet bottles, egg cartons anything that can be use to produce something cute or something really usable.

Like for papers, there are so many things that we can do with papers aside from putting them in the trash. We can use it to make origamis, we can reuse the other side of the paper when only one side is used. Can even be reused to make greeting cards or a scapbook. It is just sad that I can't find my stuff that I did before using old papers and magazine. And paper clips! I love paper clips because whenever I forgot to wear earrings I can easily make one whenever I'm in the office.

I recycled used clothing too. Tshirts can be recycled as ecobags or if it is really worn out can be used as kitchen handtowel.

Egg cartons? What about egg cartons? Egg cartons can be reused too! I used to whenever I plant seeds as they are easy to cut and easy to transfer to a much bigger pot. Others are using small plastic containers but I prefer carton as they all decompose with soil in time. Another thing that I used for my seeds are used paper cups that were used whenever we have a picnic.

There are so many things that we can reuse and recycle. Why don't we give some thoughts on stuff before putting it in the trashcan. Remember waste isn't waste until we decide to put it in waste basket.

My wife !LUV s to collect a ton of microwavable containers same with the ice cream containers. Sayang daw kasi since it can be used as an extra storage for food ending dami din naming scraps. We also have multiple boxes from groceries na nakatambak before until we noticed that our bed frame ay nasisira na so ayun naging support ang mga boxes instead na natapon na.

Somehow useful din na mayroong mga ganyan nakatabi.

useful naman sya hehe yun lang minsan sa sobrang pag iistore napapasama din. I reuse boxes din as trashcans pagnaglilinis para isang lagayan lang then diretso na sa trash collector.

well all things have their pros and cons naman :) pero still ang end point is... better than adding trash to the world :)

I love to reuse things too and the ice cream containers have been used to grow succulents and other plants, and yes, plastic cups as well :)

Good luck to you on the contest. I was writing an entry last night and I fell asleep, lol!
