Let Your Magazines be Reused!

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
