| Instead of buying books, borrow from libraries and friends. Libraries, hospitals, community centers and senior facilities can use books and magazines that you no longer need. | ||
| Cover reference books and textbooks with paper bags, posters, old maps, giftwrap or fabric pieces to protect the covers. | ||
| Donate old blankets, towels, and fabric scraps to animal shelters for pet bedding. | ||
| Broken pottery can be reused in the bottom of plant pots to allow water to drain or to create mosiac projects. | ||
| Plastic margarine tubs and yogurt containers work great in the freezer or refrigerator for storing leftovers. | ||
| Cut up one-sided flyers and use the pieces for notepaper to keep by the telephone or use for shopping lists. |
