Get Out of Your Box and Repurpose

Get Out of Your Box and Repurpose

As I mentioned in my introduction to "Realistically Green", being "green" doesn't have to cost you a lot of money, can save you a lot of money, and doesn't have to be time consuming! When I think of "being green" I think about reusing or repurposing items more than I think about anything else. I look at an item and wonder what other uses it might have other than what it was originally created to be and do.

Think about all those 20 ounce plastic pop bottles you drink from. What do you do with them when they are empty? Most people throw them in the trash and open the next one, right? What if you washed the pop bottle and filled it up with tap water and placed it in your refrigerator? Voila! Water bottles! AND you just recycled a plastic bottle! AND you are helping your refrigerator run more efficiently because the more full it is the more efficiently it will run. Also, these bottles are much sturdier than the regular water bottles you purchase in the store so these bottles can be used for a long period of time.

Think "outside of your box", get creative, and let's reuse and repurpose lots of items and save lots of money at the same time, together.
