Paper Towels

If you wipe up a small spill, you don't always have to throw your SCOTT Towel away. Just rinse out the towel, let it dry, and it's ready for use again.

Recycle for Your Dog

Use an old sweater to make a dog sweater. Just use an old dog sweater as your pattern. I made one and no one even knows it was an old one that my hubby used to wear. Just cut and sew!

Reusing Envelopes

I pay many of my bills online, but I save the envelopes included in the statements. I reuse them for sending things into school for the kids, or whenever possible, I use them for mailing other things. I haven't bought envelopes in a long time!

Cards and Envelops

I save old calendars and magazines and use the pictures I like from them to make cards and envelopes. It's easy to make an envelope -- just take and old envelope apart to use as a template. Trace it on the page you like, cut around the line, fold and glue. I use these cards and envelopes for party invitations or thank you notes. I have not bought thank you cards since learning this trick, so I've saved a bundle and reuse our precious resources! Have fun with recycling!

Reuse Newspapers

I came from a small town, but my grandmother lived in a city. Nothing was better than having a Christmas present come covered in comics that weren't in black and white! Now I save the color comics and wrap presents with them.

Brushing with Savings

Turn off the faucet when you are brushing your teeth. The water you save will help our environment and your water bill.

Don't Toss Old Hose

I keep old hosiery legs. Instead of taping a storage box, I tie it with a couple of these. They stretch to go on and off like a giant rubber band! They suspend my mosquito bed net. And cut into pieces, they make excellent dog bedding filler.

Cleaning with Old Socks

My husband goes through socks fast, so I use his old ones for dusting. I just put my hand into the sock and dust away. Then you can just throw the sock away or be environmentally friendly and throw it in the washer for the next time you dust. I can dust the whole house and not have to buy any dusting cloths. I've done this for over 5 years and saved a lot of money.
