17. Try to reuse everything

Nowadays, everyone should be conscious of recycling and reuse as much as possible. You can find lots of tips and instructions on reusing everything on the Internet instead of throwing them away. This is truly a wonderful thing to help the increasingly polluted environment. However, one thing we notice that most people still hold on to plastic stuff like cups or containers; because they think they can be used later for a different purpose. Others even claim that they could make a craft out of them and make a profit.

However, you need to know that most plastic items that you are storing in the house are containers of leftovers. If there are very little leftovers from your family, or if you eat leftovers for the next meal, the likelihood of using all those plastic containers is not high. Besides, using plastic containers to reheat food in the microwave too many times is not good for your health. You may not want to waste, but consider putting those plastic containers in the recycling bin.
