Do you practice the three R's?

Tweet

I think most people in the US have heard of the three R's. Whether or not they practice them is another subject. Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Reduce is using less of products and resources. Like possibly use a refillable water bottle instead of endless plastic bottles of water, make a pot of coffee instead of using the little endless Keurig cups, reducing your energy and water consumption, gas consumption, and the list goes on and on. Reuse is to use something more than once. Some examples of this would be to possibly donate things that you no longer want or need, like clothing you can't wear, furniture you no longer want. Find a use for things that may end up in landfills forever--plastic jugs or containers, reuse glass containers, carry reusable shopping bags for groceries, and so on. Some people make neat things out of wooden pallets. There are always new ideas to try. Recycle, we all know about. Some do this, some do not, and some simply do not care. I think that's sad, but that's a whole other subject. I am one of those weird old hippie people who think recycling should be mandatory, but I am sure that's not a popular thought. Do you do any of these things? Do you ever find a use for something that was once purposed for something else? I think it's a good challenge and I often do this. I am always interested in hearing of how other people have reused or done unusual things with something. Pinterest picture.
