I don’t think theres enough said about reusing stuff. By which I don’t mean recycling – recycling is great but it usually means the waste product is taken away then processed into something else.
Plastic Produce bags for example. Yes they can be recycled but why? Recycling costs a lot of money. It is not really cost effective and only offsets the cost of disposing the bags. Which is why so many don’t get recycled but end up in landfill.
We really don’t need a new bag every time we buy some beans. A cotton reusable bag is more than good enough. Yet we have become such a throwaway society we have almost forgotten about reusables.
Here are some products that dont need to be thrown away after a few uses.
