Day 18: Saved and Reused Cardboard Box
The other day it was reusing smaller cardboard boxes, today it’s larger ones.
On my walk back to my apartment today, I saw a stack of cardboard boxes lying on the sidewalk to be thrown out. So I scooped two up and plan on using them to build a mini photo studio for my food pics.
You don’t have to pick a box up off the street, they are all around you. Think about the packages you receive in the mail or in the office. You could also just pick some up off the street.
Here’s some other uses for cardboard boxes courtesy of Reader’s Digest:
- Make a bed tray
- Make place mats
- Store tall garden tools
- Organize kids’ sporting goods
-
According to RethinkRecycling: Nearly 30% of our trash is packaging. A lot of it is cardboard that can be reused or recycled.
What was your simple green act for the day?
