Reuse This: Six Simple Steps toward Responsible Reuse

The economy’s stranglehold on our wallets, coupled with growing concern for our environment, has us all looking for some new solutions for reducing trash and saving cash. At GreenCells, we’re here to help. See these six easy ways to multi-purpose:

• Give the gift of reuse. Use the Sunday comics or yesterday’s Design Section for innovative gift packaging.
• Kick the bottled water habit. Save money and our natural resources by passing on disposable water bottles and sport drinks, by filtering your own or using a reusable container.
• Bag the bag or baggie. Carry a reusable shopping bag or tote for easy reuse. Reusable sandwich wraps and snack bags made from organic cotton and recycled plastic diverts waste from our landfills and save money.
• Go green with spaghetti or mason jars used as small planters around your home.
• Start a neighborhood movie club. Trade five DVDs with your family or neighbors.
• And, of course, go into that drawer with the unused cell phones, put them in a box, and print a label so they can be reused and you can make some money!

We’re working hard to gather our enthusiastic customers who know how to reuse. We want your feedback on the benefits. Do you have any creative ideas for reuse? If so, share them with other GreenCells smart, savvy consumers. You can also help spread the word by finding us on Facebook and becoming a fan.

I've been a GreenCells customer for years. Love the savings and products. I also really appreciate the good feeling of contributing to a cleaner healthier plant. My family and I purchase used clothing and electronics and find it a great new lifestyle. I see more and more people going this route.
