Eye Opener: Photo Essay

Hey Everyone!

So, I'll admit, at first I was going to do this photo essay on littering and take pictures of all the crap people leave on the ground. Well unfortunately every time I planned on taking photos outside, it snowed! So I went with plan B and took photos of everyday items we can reuse in our household. Here is a list of 7 items that you can easily reuse
in other creative ways! Enjoy.

Item 1: Yogurt Containers




...Yogurt containers and other food containers are perfect for holding other items, such as....









...Your pens, pencils and highlighters!...










Item 2: Toilet Paper Rolls




...When you're done using a roll of toilet paper, why not use the cardboard roll to wrap other things?...









...Like your Christmas lights, and other electrical cords!...










Item 3: Brown Paper Bags





...No recycling bin? No problem...











...Brown paper bags work perfectly as recycling bins, and the best part is you can recycle the bin itself!...








Item 4: CD's




...Take your old CD's you don't listen to anymore and turn them into...









...Candle Plates! Set the mood without a CD player and double the ambiance as well...









Item 5: Cereal Boxes





...After finishing a box of your favorite cereal, why not make it into a...








...Magazine holder! Keep your favorite magazines organized and neat...








...It's perfect for any occasion...













Item 6: Plastic Bags





...Why not take all the plastic bags you use from your favorite stores and turn them into...










...Garbage liners/bags?...










Item 7: Empty Alcohol Containers






...Don't throw these beautiful items away. Use it to spice up...








...Your house! Empty alcohol cans and bottles are a perfect way to decorate the interior of any college house...





Well that's about it. Hope these pictures have opened your eyes to new and creative ways to reuse things in your homes! Have a good rest of the week, and stay warm!
