Why Reuse
Reuse is one of the best ways to reduce waste. By repairing and reusing an item, you not only save money, you keep it out of the landfill. In addition to repairing items you already own, you can purchase used items, saving money and helping the environment. Selling old items is another great way to promote reuse. As are donations.
