14. Build Your Furniture
A lot of Ikea lovers here have cheap furniture. However, most of them that made from particleboard will break over time. According to Curbed, 9 million tons of furniture goes into landfills every year. You can help stop this waste in many ways. The first is by keeping your old furniture and repainting. The second is buying from a thrift store, which will prevent used furniture from entering the landfill.
The third will be to build your furniture. For example, you can make side panels from tree slices by attaching metal hairpins to the bottom. There are also lots of video tutorials online.
