We save empty jars and plastic containers to store all the herbs we grow in the garden after we've dried them out

Recycling everything possible!

I totally use my egg cartons and plant seeds and then plant them in the garden. I also use popsicle sticks as my markers in the garden....not to mention scraps for compost!

Reuse the plastic bags. Use them in the bathroom trash basket. Keep dust off items high in your closet, like off-season clothes and shoes.Papers have two sides. Use both the sides. Save them for children's art projects, or print documents on both sides.Repair broken items instead of trashing them and buying something new. If you no longer want an item, give it to someone who can use it.Reusable shopping bags are all the rage, and they might be the only option in the future. Buy stylish canvas ones.Old pillowcases can be used for off-season storage. Need a pencil holder? Try an extra mug or a candle holder. Used toothbrushes clean hard-to-reach corners and around sink faucets.

There are many things that I recycle.I recycle the jars of babyfood and use them for when I paint my drawings, I recycle grocery bags and use them to dispose the cat's litter, I recycle the Crystal Light containers and use them as cups, I recycle printer paper and use it as scratch paper, I recycle hair product containers and make my own organic conditioners, I recycle the diaper boxes and put anything that is for storage in them, I recycle Clothes and try to practice sewing with them and the ones that I think are still in good condition I donate :) I reuse the gallons of milk and make juice in them. The list goes on but I dont think it will fit here lol

I am a green queen. I recycle, compost, reuse, upcycle, thrift --- whatever it takes to create a sustainable environment.

Glass tupperware for work lunches and snacks (no more single-serve yogurt cups at work!) and "real" cutlery at the office - running the dishwasher every evening is so much better than having hundreds of plastic knives and forks thrown away every single day...

I purchased a rain barrel today. Can't wait to set it up so I can use the collected water to water my garden this year

My family and I are very big on recycling. I try to teach my boys all of the different ways to recycle. They enjoy learning different ways with me.

was happy to make that tweet!

we recycle all the time we take in juck and can's whatever we can ...we try not to use bottle water instead we put our water in a jug and drink from our individual cups. to cut down on plastic.

Our family recycles all our plastics and aluminum. We also cut the water off while brushing teeth, only turn the shower water on when ready to shower, unplug all appliances when not in use, turn lights off, and reuse household items when applicable.

We do what we can to renew, recycle, and reuse. It's a little challenging living in an apartment but we do our part. We use only energy efficient bulbs in our home. Turn off lights and electronics when not in use. We donate and re-purpose as many things as we can because to throw them away would be a shame. We also make a lot of crafts to help supplement our budget so a lot of things other people would normally throw might be things we can use in those crafts or to organize our crafts like jars or cans. I am also using less paper products. I wash more dishes so I don't have paper plates to throw out and only use paper towels if it's something really gross. I clean with towels and such. I think it's like baby steps. We can all do our part with some simple and even fun changes.

I try to keep my family green by doing thinks like cloth diapering our son, recycle paper products, and we reuse containers, and avoid drinking sodas to reduce plastic! I normally have a garden to save on grocery trips reducing in gas emission's but we have recently moved to a town home preventing it for this year only =[ I could go on and on but these are the "big" things that we do to help improve our Earth!

My motto is to reduce reuse and recycle. I don't let anything go to waste. I use reusable shopping bags, but before I started, a couple of years ago, I would reuse my plastic shopping bags as trash bags and I still do. I haven't bought garbage bags in many many years. I also reuse cardboard boxes to collect my recycables, and put those by the curbside. My recycable trash is always bigger than my regular trash. I only use cold water for my laundry, unplug anthing that is not in use, I use shampoo to wash my car, and anything natural for cleaning. I prefer no chemicals.
