Reducing Waste With The 5Rs 50

All

Get one or two reusable bags and take and used then u can wash and used over

My mom uses material from old clothing and uses the material as rags to wipe around in the kitchen. Washed them to be reused again.

I use clothing that cannot be reused--and scraps--to make doll clothes, or for cleaning cloths. When my mother died, I rescued my cloth diapers that she had been using for cleaning for 50 years and continued using them in MY house. Istill have them 15 years later.

I volunteer for an organization that collects computers and then refurbishes them for reuse and those that cannot be fixed are broken down and the respective parts are recycled. At home I have refused plastic grocery bags for 30+ years and only use cloth. All of my cloth bags were free--so many places give them away. Thrift stores are my favorite place to get just about anything.
