Isn't Reusing a Good Idea?

Two weeks ago I got my cotton mattresses repaired. The workmen come from Bihar, mostly Muslim men, go around doing this work . They make quilts and mattresses. They return to their villages with the departure of winter. I saved the cloth cover of the old mattresses. They are good and strong enough to be reused as bed covers. I used my sewing machine to secure the borders and patch some holes on it. I am of the opinion that things must be reused as long as possible .

I rarely throw anything out. What I can't re-use to try to give away.

I think everyone should reuse as many things as possiable.

I never throw anything that can be washed, cut and sewed and reused.

Reusing and repurposing is great. I recently had a duvet cover develop a tear that I couldn't fix so I cut it into pieces and have made some pillow cases with it.
