Recently I published a post on the three R's (reduce, reuse and recycle) so I decided to make a post about reusing ideas. Reusing something is important in helping our environment as it means new resources do not need to be harvested to make that item.
Bulbs ~ Fancy doing some paper mache? Using a bulb, newspaper, glue and some imagination you can make a nice pretty snowman. For instructions try this site.
Envelopes ~ Rather than recycling it why not use again? It will save you money buying a new envelope and it saves trees for the paper and plastic if it is a bubble wrap envelope. On a side note if you life in the UK save up all used stamps as the post office takes them for charity.
Bags ~ Okay this one is very simple just use reusable bags when doing the next food shop and only use plastic bags if you need them for something like bin liners.
Toilet Roll ~ You can make a nice and cheap environmentally friendly bird feeder by putting a hole through the roll near the top (with something like a hole puncher). Then cover it with peanut butter and then sprinkle the bird seeds on the peanut butter. Using the hole you made earlier tie string through it and hang it outside. You now have a bird feeder!
If you have any ideas on reusing then please feel free comment.
