Deep dives
Repurposing Everyday Items
Repurposing items around the home can help minimize waste and save money. For instance, using the backside of poster boards for school projects provides a second life to materials that would otherwise be discarded. Gift bags can also be reused multiple times; many people do not label them, allowing for easy repurposing for future events. Additionally, keeping bins of old Halloween costumes can encourage imaginative play for kids by using past outfits for dress-up fun.
