The Bright Side of the Disposable Cup and a Toilet Paper

Funny, I was just thinking the other day. We get this very thin plastic. We can use those to make flowers. And those flowers can be made into something like a rug which can be soft and allow elderly to sleep on them when they are in hospitals instead of those hard beds on which they keep on sliding.

@Mavic123456 Yes, I recycle bottles and newspapers.

We do not use much plastic cups or glasses. If we use, will throw away after one use.

I am not using Plastic cup at home. But some plastic I will sell them for recycle purpose. If we want to save our enviornment that we must use plastics less as much as possible and also recycle it.

it's good that you recycle plastici do not recycle but i reuse them

I do recycle is important for our environment.

I try to avoid things that can only be used once but nose tissue and toilet paper are the exceptions.

We keep some our plastic containers. We keep our coins in them, I also use some of them for my pens and pencils. I think that it a good to use them again instead of just throwing them away.

Sometimes, I do recycle if I have a need for the disposable things. But if not, I throw them already.

Cute! In the 1950s-60s crafts were very popular. I had an aunt that made loads of craft items from empty plastic dish detergent bottles, plastic jugs, all kinds of things. Her women's group would sell them at their church bazaar. I don't think there were craft stores like we have today, crafters made things from common household items instead of throwing them away. Today crafts are quite different. So for my aunt and other crafters back then - they were reusing or recycling before there was ever a call for it. I don't buy plastic unless I have to but we have recycling options here. I seldom have anything I can reuse like you do. But I have a feeling that if you came to visit you'd find something. Your toilet paper holder is very creative.

I plants seeds and cuttings in plastic cups.. used cups, washed and reused..

I recycle every single thing I can. Even stuff like plastic containers and glass jars get used SEVERAL times for other things before they get tossed into the recycling bin around my house.

I do reuse items. Recyle? I leave that to the recycling plants.

I don't do that, but what you do seems to be very good, you can reduce a lot of garbage by recycling garbage into something very useful

I recycle and it's picked up once a week here. Our grocery store has a container to bring back plastic bags that get recycled.

I don't think we can put drink cups into the recycle bin each month, but we can put milk jugs along with many other types of plastic, most papers, and cardboard which included food containers. We're not allowed to put Styrofoam into the bins for getting picked up but they can be taken directly to the site where the collection is sorted through. My sister brings her styrofoam from detroit. I'm guessing they do recycling there, but it's easier to access our recycling center when she visits than it would be if they take it in the one in Detroit. I've wondered before why they won't take stryrofoam in the bins, but maybe it's because it can fly away easily if the wind catches it when it's being dumped. By the way, cute poem. I had to laugh at the way you personalized the toilet paper.

I like to use things in different ways too, I always have a plastic cup with lid and straw in my refrigerator and I fill it up several times, then before tossing it out, I keep it by the kitchen sink for a little trash can as my regular can is around the corner. It saves steps and gives it one ore use, . That way it gets used more than just one drink.

Nice poem there, in the point of view of the plastic. Sometimes I reused and recycled them but not always

I do try to recycle every change I get and I hope others do as well.

I sure do try.... but that's good what you do
