We can reuse items at home by getting things like reusing shampoo bottles. Instead of buying a new bottle every time you finish one, buy one really big bottle and refill the old one every time it empties. You can also do the same thing with items such as liquid soap and ketchup. Every time you make a mistake when you print something off of the computer, don’t throw it away. Use the back for something else first. This is an exellant way to conserve trees. A lot of people throw away things like banana peels and apple cores. That just makes more garbage. You should go out and buy a composter or make one. It is good for the earth and as I said before it makes less garbage. If your clothes become too small, give them to a younger brother, sister, or cousin. If it won’t fit anyone you know give it to a place such as Good Will or the Red Cross. They sell them to less fortunate people for less money so that they have something to wear during the winter or at all. Recycling in any manner is good for the earth.

In school it seems hard to recycle and reuse but we need to because Canada was one of the worst garbage producers in the world. Some of the ideas that we suggested for home can also be very effective in school. Here are some more ideas as well. One of the things you can do is, at the end of the year, if some of your notebooks aren’t completely used up you can use them for scrap paper until they are done. That also conserves trees.
