Hoping to give the Earth a little time to rest and recover
Today’s video is about how we can reuse, recycle and repurpose in our daily lives.
If you just throw away an empty wine bottle, it would be just trash.
I am going to repurpose and reuse this as a vase.
My little attempt for zero waste lifestyle in my little corner space.
Original boxes for smart devices are handy for organizing drawers as they are quite sturdy.
These are my old cell phone boxes I’ve been using in my drawers for years.
At my new place, I organized and stored all my mugs in my kitchen cabinets.
So this mug tree I’ve been using for almost 8 years is now placed in a foyer.
From now on, it is a hanger for my keys and masks.
Fuzzy socks used to be a must for me during long cold weather when I lived in the Eastern US.
But I don’t get to wear them that often after moving to a warmer State.
Due to the nature of fuzzy socks, they are soft and stretchy and fit well on Swiffer mop.
I use it instead of a disposable pad.
Slightly wet the sock and it becomes handy to clean and wipe the floor.
even the high places that are out of reach.
I cut old kitchen rubber gloves with tears and holes into pieces, and I use them as rubber bands.
Wrap a pair of fuzzy socks around the tongs with these rubber bands.
This way, you can recycle, reuse and clean at the same time.
My daughter no longer sleeps in this crib but I kept it for a long time.
I adjusted the height, and I am thinking of changing this into a desk.
A folding table I have seems to be a similar size, so I put it on top of the crib rails.
It is little short in length, so I filled the gap with my daughter’s stuffed toys.
Adopting all those online learning nowadays, I realized the world has changed so differently and rapidly.
I picked one of my daughter’s Lego friends,
and attached it to one side.
It is now transformed into a cute cable holder that my little girl can use too.
A broken clothes drying rack is no longer a useless trash
when you reuse and transform it into a magazine/book rack in a little reading nook.
When you think outside of the box, you can reduce waste, and turn useless into useful at the same time!
The packaging containers for muffins sold at Costco are quite large and sturdy.
After removing the label stickers,
I keep my off-season shoes here.
I keep silica gels from many food packages and reuse them.
Unlike the original shoe boxes, these clear transparent containers make it so much easier to store and find.
Without having to buy new shoe cases, I can stack my shoes and organize nicely.
Thanks for watching my video today.
