Magazines you subscribe to, magazines that come in the
newspaper, sample magazines that are delivered....all have a use
once you have finished reading them! Below are some ideas for
recycling and reusing:
- For magazines that we subscribe to, once we are finished with
them we give them to other family members to read.
- Once the magazines have been read (by us and family members)
if we don't use them further we donate them to the Salvation
Army.
- Our nieces use the magazines to cut pictures out of for their
school projects. They have also made some great collages with
them!
- For painting ideas, we use the pictures from magazines.
- Old magazines are great for making scrapbooks...we cut out the
pictures and the letters....sure is a lot cheaper than buying
scrapbook material!
- And if we still have magazines left over, we put them in the
recycle bin. There are many products that use recycled
magazines!
Let your magazines be reused over and over! As you read the
quotes below on recycling, reducing and reusing let them be a
reminder to you that no matter how small your efforts it will
make a difference!
Food for Thought in the form of quotes on Recycling, Reducing,
and Reusing
"Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without." Proverb
"There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well.
They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see
waste. When I see people throwing away things we could use."
Mother Teresa
"We are not to throw away those things which can benefit our
neighbour. Goods are called good because they can be used for
good: they are instruments for good, in the hands of those who
use them properly." Clement of Alexandria
"If 25 years ago I had said that the majority of Canadians would
be drinking bottled water today, you would have laughed. If I
were to say now that we may have to breathe bottled air in 25
years if we don't fundamentally change the way our society
works, would you laugh? And if we can't breathe the air, does it
really matter whether the government of the day is right or
left?" Jim Harris
"Nobody makes a greater mistake than he who does nothing because
he could only do a little." Edmund Burke
