Papers are valuable

Have you noticed Ikea furniture are wrapped in paper as well as styrofoam? Ever wondered how these paper can be put to good use?

It is such a waste to see these paper ending up in the trash bin. These are not small pieces of paper but large ones. Well, I keep them, not for writing or drawing. I keep them so that I can reuse them to wrap my food leftovers which are to be thrown.

These papers are absorbent and so will come in useful. My mother is always hunting for papers to wrap leftovers before they are thrown into the dustbin. These are better than plastic bags which do not absorb liquid.

As for the carton boxes, they can earn you your breakfast, so think twice before discarding!

Putting disused plastic bags to good use

Call me thrifty, call me kiamsiap..I don't care. This is my little contribution to save the earth. I reuse plastic wrappers (you know those that wrap your newsletter) that arrive through the postal service. Being members of a professional body, my husband and I regularly receive newsletters and brochures wrapped nicely in plastics. Mind you, I will only use durable and uncreased wrappers. They land up to protect my many books that I have invested for my business. And, recently I have used it for my son's books. Save money, save the earth. What a noble cause!
