Easy Way to Reuse Household Items You Already Have

Glass jars = instant storage solution!

Before recycling glass jars, give them a second life! They’re perfect for organizing everything from food to office supplies to bathroom essentials.

Quick repurposing ideas…

  • Large jars: Store bulk items like rice, pasta, or coffee beans
  • Medium jars: Perfect for nuts, homemade drinks, or toiletries
  • Small jars: Organize screws, hair ties, or craft supplies

Remove labels easily…

Soak in warm soapy water for 10 minutes, then scrub with a scraper or credit card.

This costs you nothing, saving money on expensive organizing containers. Plus, glass jars are airtight, keeping contents fresh longer than many store-bought alternatives.

Try this today!

Save the next glass jar you’d normally recycle. Clean it and fill it with something that’s cluttering your space!

The 2-Minute Morning Routine That Reduces Single-Use Items

Corie Muldoon

Fill a reusable water bottle and coffee cup before leaving home!

This simple habit eliminates the need for disposable bottles and cups throughout your day.

Keep both items by your keys or wallet so you never forget them!

Make it even easier…

  • Prep your coffee the night before (cold brew or set your timer)
  • Keep backup reusable cups at work and in your car
  • Choose a water bottle you actually enjoy using

The math is compelling…

If you typically buy one bottled water ($1.50) and one coffee ($4) daily, you’ll save well over $1,000 per year… while preventing hundreds of disposable items from entering landfills.

Most coffee shops offer discounts for bringing your own cup (so fun!), and many workplaces have filtered water stations for easy refills.

Try this today!

Set your reusable bottle and coffee cup next to your keys or wallet tonight. Tomorrow morning, fill them before you leave!
