An old toothbrush can be reused in so many different ways—to shine your shoes, scrub and clean surfaces, or even apply hair dye. Similarly, kitchen waste can be used as manure for your home garden, and plastic bags can line trash cans.
Starting with the simplest of things at home to even electrical and electronic equipment, there is almost always an option to repair, reuse or recycle. Basic mindfulness, however, is often drowned out by the convenience of consumerism, where we are quick to use and throw because a new purchase is delivered to our doorstep at the click of a button.
