To Trash or not To Trash? Is that Really a Question?

Hey Fellow Green Thumbers, I’m Andy part of the Green Thumb blog team. What are some of the things people do to help reduce carbon footprint? First thing that usually comes to mind is recycling. When someone thinks about recycling, it’s not just about putting cans, papers, and glass into separate bins and send them off to some factory. It’s more than that. The word recycling means to convert (waste) or something not of use into something useful/reusable. Anything around the household can be recycled. Recycled items around the household can be converted into kids arts and crafts, have multiple uses, and save the environment.

Great projects to keeps little monsters busy is arts and craft, not only is it fun but very educational and opens their mind to greater imagination. Items around the house can be recycled to be used in arts and craft without leaving a hole in your wallet. Items like a Piggy Bank can be made out of recycled materials.

With the right material you can make other really great things. Here is a website that will give you some ideas.

A Great way to save money and the environment is using regular everyday household items not just for the main practical use, but for other things. With multi used items it can save you from running to the store and needlessly spending money. Items like Lemon, vinegar, baking soda, salt, and aluminum foil. Aluminum foil is not just for baking and cooking food, but can act as a scrub for oven, mold for doorknobs to protect from dripping paint while painting, clean glass pans with aluminum foil to get baked on food off, and not only that, aluminum foil in some cities can be recycled. There are hundreds of ideas you can find with a common items laying around the house. But don’t just stop here, you can find more ways and items to save time, money, and the Earth you can always do research.
