How do you reduce, reuse, and recycle?

I reduce by watching how many lights I have on and am replacing them one at a time with energy efficient. I make greeting cards out of old wallpaper books and they are devine. So I recycle. I also belong to a recycling group that passes around things they don't need any more that are in good condition.

i reduce electric by turning the ref clock to no. 1 only then at night i pull the plug at 10pm then plug it in at 9 am. it save me a lot from 5000 to 3500 electric bill a month , in ironing clothes we do first the heavy pants coz it take lot of heat to press then later the light one like shirt. but for home use only we just fold it, in other way there are charcoal iron it save too.

I reduce electric by using low watt bulbs and making sure that I turn things off when they are not in use. I reuse plastic bags and containers. I also recycle all this stuff when I don't have a use in the home to reuse them.

Hello Writersedge! I reduce electric use by: 1. turning off electronic appliances after use, 2. my bro & dad have a bad habit of leaving lights, fans & TV on, so I always make sure I have turned them off when these are not in use, 3. In our house we use low watt lights which are bright. I reuse plastic bags & containers. Also, sometimes reuse cooking oil used once. Then, the books I have already read & am not going to use them, I give it to friends or some known ones who would be interested in reading the books or donate it to libraries. We also give my brother's school books to students who can't afford it for free. I recycle Newspapers & old notes by giving it to the person who does recycling of newspapers & books. I too have the habit of making crafts although most of the time I buy new things to make crafts, but i also make crafts with already used things like chart, color papers, etc. Vani^_^

I recycle to a point. I sometimes save milk containers to make lemonade in and when I buy frozen microwave dinners and vegetables I save the containers to heat up leftovers. I have a closet full of used containers.

I do reuse containers like you did. I recycled some paper containers by converting them to wallpapers because the inner part has a layer of aluminium layer so it can last long for getting wet aspecially in the wash room. Reusing water that was used to wash clothes is the other way for me to reduce wasting water.

i reduce plastic waste by using newspaper to wrap unwanted rubbish (neatly) i reuse some foods delivery plastic container to stall dried foods like bean,salt..etc.i recyle many things such as old newspaper,glass milk bottle,tin foil,drink can.Yea sometimes i use them to make some decorative items.It is so much fun using unwanted stuff and turn it into valuable things (at least its very too me :)

Here's how I reuse shoeboxes: Use to store recipes. Tape the lids to the boxes, paint them bright colors, and give them to the kids for building blocks. Use to hold odds and ends--just paint and label. Use to store small children's toys. Make into a dollhouse.

We have reduced, reused and recycled all my life. It is just the natural way of life in our area. We hang our clothes on the clotheline. I even have a clothesline in the house to use in winter. It gets really bad here in winter We put all our grass clippings, veggie and fruit peels (uncooked) in the compost pile. To use in the garden. We have raised bed gardens. We bake in cans. I have posted a few of my recipes for baking in cans on mylot. We sell our soda cans for recycling. We use our newspapers to put down before we put down mulch. It will keep the weeds from growing through and it will turn to soil just as the mulch will. We use old tires to make beds for our rhubarb. We cut them until they lay flat then we put them together with rivits to make them as long as we need them. We use candles to save on lighting energy when we view TV or are just chatting. We heat and cook on a coal heating stove in winter. Saves alot of electic and keeps us very warm all over the house. I love to cook on it in winter and use it for all our cooking and baking needs. In summer, it is too hot to use.

I use those fluorescent bulbs, and we put our papers and cans in the recycle bin. Unfortunately I live in a city that thinks that its citizens have too much money and if they can find a way by user fees or not giving the money back from our used papers, etc, they will. I throw the used peels, and veggies on the compost pile. I take the pop cans to my local church school where they take them to a can crusher and use the money for school supplies. I wash out the ziploc bags, I reuse the jars we get the spaghetti sauce and jam in as well as the empty peanut butter jars for storing dried stuff. I do not use a clothesline--haven't got any ---but I do use cold water for washing and no I do not use Tide Cold Water Wash. Sunlight's just as good. I have been doing this since that so called environmental scare came out, which begs me to ask, What will happen once it is over?

well lets see i make sure the lights in the house are off if no one is using them.i save the diaper boxes for some of my kids toys,i save the butter containers and put crayons in them for my kids.and i saved the baby food jars and put my rhinestones and crafts in them,from my gem magic.
