This wouldn’t just save the world from too much garbage, but has also helped yourselves earn money and you can even teach this to the future generation.

• TRASH – Bottles and Cans

Did you know that used bottles and cans can be recycled and can turn into something else that can actually be useful for yourself or for other people?

But if you don’t have time or just don’t want to put any effort on it. You can just simply sell them to junk shops or to those who love to recycle things like this.

• TRASH – OLD CDs

Since we are in the digital age and technology just keeps on moving faster. CD’s may be very popular in the 2000’s but after 2010, it became less and less popular because instead of spending money on it, people just buy the songs that they wanted online and download it to their smartphones. And these smartphones come with a headset so no one really needs CDs anymore. What you can do is to sell them to the people who collects CDs, or any vintage stuff since they’re already considered to be kind of an old thing. But if you don want to sell them, then you can creative about it and use them as a decoration for your home.

Throwing away old clothes is something people don’t normally do, because there are a lot of things you can do with them instead of just burning them or throwing it away in the garbage. One of the many things you can do is to donate them to the less fortunate. There are so many people who would love to have decent clothes, but can’t afford them, so if you have clothes that doesn’t fit you anymore then put them all in a bag or box and donate it. Just make sure those clothes are still in good shape and not all torn and worn up.
