the terms recycle and reuse are often used interchangably. although they are both good things to practice they are in fact to seperate things. in the recycling process, a large ammount of energy is used in order to change one old product into a new one. this is probably the greatest downfall of recycling. often times it is best to reuse items instead of always throwing them in the recycle bin. a glass bottl efor instance can be used to collect change.  a piece of paper has a lot more use than we give it credit for too. get creative, fill a whole page with work from numerous sources. recycling is great; it cuts down on the innitial production of goods, but try reusing things to save energy.

How about Reuse the things that can’t be Recycled.  Instead of the glass jar that can be recycled use the yucky #5 plastic container for something.

Recycling vs. reuse turns out to be a matter of perception, most of the time. When you think of recycling, you might think of a shiny, efficient factory where old plastic bottles are processed and turned into new bottles at the snap of a finger; old stuff goes in, new stuff comes out, but that’s not the whole story; plastic’s chemistry, and a couple of other factors, give the reusable water bottle (and other objects with similar lifecycle designs) a big edge.
