Recycle to make Art

We all know recycling is the right thing to do. It helps to save energy, preserves natural resources and wildlife, and reduces our carbon footprint.

How can we help to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle?
These are some simple methods I follow in my day to day life and try to make a difference in my small way .

1. I avoid disposable goods, such as paper plates, cups, napkins, razors, and lighters. Throwaways contribute to the problem, and cost more because they must be replaced again and again.
2. I reuse grocery bags or bring my own cloth bags to the store. I do not  take a bag from the store unless I need one.
3. I try to give away old clothes, appliances, toys, and furniture to the needy.
4. I use the front and back of paper.
5. In my school I try to make craft items with throwaway items like cups, cans, ice cream sticks gift wrapping paper etc.
