Reuse
Most items can be used again and again or for other purposes. Get creative and save money.
-
Take your own re-usable bag with you to the supermarket.
-
Buy goods in refillable containers e.g. washing powders etc.
-
Donate rather than dump - yard sales, charity shops, etc.
-
Consider using renewable energy sources, contribute to the funds and companies that make an effort to use new/alternatvie resources from wind, water, and solar power.
-
Buy products that have been made from recycled products as often as you can.
-
Shop at second hand stores, there are deals to be found!
-
When shopping by mail, phone or online, tell them you do not want to be added to their paper mail list. Find out if they will rent or sell your name to such list.
-
Use scrap paper as note pads. The back of envelops have lots of white space to make lists.
-
Buy used books when you can. Many of the online book sellers now have a used section.
-
Save old jars to use for glasses, zip-closed plastic baggies can be washed out and used time and again.
-
Use rechargeable batteries whenever you can.
-
Be creative and think twice before you throw something away. It may have hidden uses.
