We are going to do this with the 3 R’s. Let’s take the first R. Reuse: So here are some helpful tips to Reusing.
These tips come from Tips on reusing from just my own experience.
Reusing the following products can help you save money and good ole mother earth;
1. Plastic bags, whether from groceries or whatever kind of shopping that you may do. This can also be done with paper bags. By the way the paper bags can also come in handy for us moms out there if you have any kids needing some materials for school projects or for those young aspiring artist to make all sorts of things out of.
2. For furniture that you want to get rid of or any type of clothing or toys just give me a call and I will be more than happy to take care of that for you. As well as computer or electronics. You can reach me at Vintage.mom@hotmail.com or call me at 305.336.1776.
3. Garage sale ensures that you get so money for that and that somebody gets a nice little treasure.
4. Consider shopping with a reusable tote bag instead of using plastic or paper.
5. Use recycled materials. Just about anywhere you go you can find these kinds of materials.
Reduce
1. Getting the 5 gallon water system in the house instead of the bottled water. If you are going to get the bottled water make sure that you have the recycling system with you local waste management to recycle.
2. If you have any children you can pay them to take care of the recycling. That way they are doing something around the house and reducing the amount of the trash that is not being recycled.
3. Keep the outside clean of any litter.
4. When walking around or traveling somewhere and you happen to see some trash on the ground pick it up and throw it away. This will be your good deed for the day and ensures that mother earth is cleaner.
Recycle
1. Have a recycling system
2. Pay your kids to handle the recycling if you don’t want to do it.
3. When going around have a plastic bag in the car for recycling and put your plastics and what not in there and when you get home you can just put it in there or have your kids do it since you are already paying them for that.
