It has to be done, of course, but laundry is one chore that I dread. I rank it on the same level as scrubbing toilets and picking up dog poop – a necessary evil. And while I’m not a fan of toting laundry to the yard to hang dry, I […]

We have all been conditioned to think that 'one time use' means something we quickly use and then discard. Like your Starbucks cup, paper plates or a Big Mac cardboard box. Why does 'one time use' need to have a time associated with it? Why do we think it has to be things that we use quickly after buying? It's time to think outside the box and redefine 'one time use'. A bottle of ketchup, jar of lemonade, a jug of laundry detergent, carrot peels, weekly flyers and a bottle of cooking oil all are one time use. You may use them over several days or over the course of a year but in the end you are still only using that container 1 time before it gets thrown away. In fact the average home throws out 1949 lbs every single year, most after only 1 use. In our home we dispose of much less than that the majority of which is thrown away after 1 use. One time use should mean something you use only for its intended purpose and then you dispose of it. You finish that bottle of ketchup and toss it into the blue bin. You peel your carrot and put the peels in the compost. What if you didn't use them just once? What if you washed that bottle that previously held ketchup and used it to make pancakes easier while camping (do this one...it made it super easy!) or made your laundry detergent jug into a watering can or turn your carrot peels into vegetable stock or turned your weekly flyers into gift bags Other Ideas Lemonade jars into dry good containers Wine bottles to water your plants Tea tins to grow your herbs Soup cans to hold your supplies Glass jars to hold leftovers Cereal boxes into gift boxes Bread tags now label cords Just about anything can be used to make kids crafts and games Cereal boxes into photo mat Obviously the best answer is to not generate the waste in the first place. Refuse to use takeout containers, cancel your weekly flyers and get them online, make your own condiments and store them in glass jars, eat your carrots unpeeled. But realistically it is not feasible to not have some items that you eventually have to find another use for. The key is to think about those other uses before you buy that product. Know exactly what you are going to do with it after its one time use. How do you define 'one time use'? What are some of your best tricks to giving something a new life rather than throwing it out?
