Enter Our Giveaway by Sharing How You Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle

When I'm waiting for the water to heat up I put all the cold water in a jar.

We burn our trash, recycle paper, plastics. im all about reusing, old pickle, jelly, peanut butter jars makes great cups!! old wood pallets to use as garden posts, or dog house, take old 2x4s to make art projects, use as shelving. My husband is a little pack rack too always reusing!!

My family recycles aluminum cans, washes clothing in cold water, uses a clothes line to dry when weather permits, we DIY our old clothes into new clothes, and we simply repurpose everything we can before it goes in the trash!

Junk mail often has mail back envelopes. I use those often around the house, like holding my coupons or receipts. Also instead of buying garden trellises I use sticks I find in the forest by my house.

Try using half the amount of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. You may be surprised that it is still fine, but not all down the drain. Save the environment in more than one way, saving water, new bottle making, trash, etc!

We recycle and are careful about water usage during showers and dish washing.

I reuse applesauce jars for my baking mixes

I hate waste. I may sure the lights are turned off in an empty room. We buy energy efficient appliances. And we recycle, recycle, recycle. It's never too early for children to learn the importance of recycling and other ways to cut waste and respect the earth.

Our family reuses alot of things from boxes for storage to used dryer sheets for cleaning.container lids from fast food make great drip trays under flower pots.

I recycle anything I can and any food that is biodegradable I mix into plant soil to feed the plants

I line dry all my clothes and I don't use a regular oven to cook, I use a toaster oven.

Don't forget to recycle those milk carton caps and can lids as well. Every bit adds up.

I reuse everything I can and but stuff on freecycle

I love to cook and I love to garden. I always try to reuse kitchen waste in the garden. Examples include watering my plants with the water I wash my purchased vegetables in and the water drained from cooking pasta and vegetables. It is full of nutrition so my plants thrive and I feel a little green!

I make toys from old milk jugs. It's a very easy and fun craft to do. And there's endless room for creativity: you can make an airplane, a dolly wagon, an easter basket. Sometimes I put out a couple to sell when I have a garage sale; they always get snapped up pretty quickly! On rainy days, I get my kids to help make a few milk jug toys and that always gets them out of the "can't play outside" blues. They've started asking me "can we make something with soda / juice bottles, too ?", so I think "reduce, reuse, recycle" has sunk in with them
