Each time I hear one thud on my front step it feels like I just chopped down a 100 year old oak tree myself.

I try to reuse and recycle all possible. Of course we want to have items packaged in less and less but that does not always seem to be the case. A few simple reuse ideas from a country gal. Those large dog/cat food bags are great trash bags. The plastic buckets that litter comes in can become holders for car toys, cleaning supplies or even small trash cans. My previous MIL would take bread wrappers (save many) then braid them into "rag rugs" for the porch. Then when they wore out she would just make another. Look around and see how else we can do these things. To true. I try to reuse and recycle all possible.
