Earth Day is a time to celebrate gains we have made and create new visions to accelerate environmental progress. Earth Day is a time to unite around new actions. Earth Day and every day is a time to act to protect our planet. Some easy ways to reuse material:
- Repair items as much as possible.
- Use durable coffee mugs
- Use cloth napkins or towels
- Clean out juice bottles and use them for water
- Use empty jars to hold leftover food
- Reuse boxes
- Purchase refillable pens and pencils
- Donate extras to people you know or to charity instead of throwing them away
- Reuse grocery bags as trash bags

YAHOO Living Green – Reusing Stuff
Reduce, reuse, recycle — most of us make a habit of recycling, while the first two "Rs" go ignored. However, we can reduce how much stuff we need to recycle by reusing what we already have. Pass along usable goods to other people instead of throwing stuff in the garbage, and people will do the same for you.
