Lots of good suggestions for others. We can all re-use stuff before we need to recycle it. Also, I took a look at the Geocaching site (a bit so far) very interesting. I had not heard of this at all. I thought it was going to be about geode rocks -- which my son loves. Turns out; no it's actually not so much about rocks ;) Thanks for stopping by.

I seek out packaging that can be used for other purposes. For example, I buy containers I can use when geocaching (www.geocaching.com). We use those for "Cache in, Trash out" events. It's a great way to utilize packaging that is currently there and help the environment as well!!! My favorite things: Carnation Instant Breakfast, purchased in a large can rather than individual packages; Gatorade, purchased in the smaller plastic container powder; and Coffee Cans/Glassed bottles. I purchase very few cans and cereal that I purchase contains no toys, coupons or box. I much prefer the bagged cereals = less waste, less energy! Even coffee creamer that I purchase finds a second use. I can use those bottles to create various craft projects, especially Halloween and Christmas! Angels and Witches are easily made with the bottle as it's base. There are a few things that I do to help reduce waste as well. I seek out packaging that can be used for other purposes.
