How Do You Re-Purpose Things?

December 29, 2010

Re-purpose is another word that fits in with the 3 R’s ~ “Recycle, Reduce, Reuse”

Do you want to make this the year to GO GREEN and share the passion to help clean up the environment?

Taking small steps in our individual lives can make a difference in the world and the resources we are using up.

The concept of “Pay It Forward” can be an all inclusive term when sharing things that are good and can help others. As we share with one another we are paying it forward in many aspects of our daily lives.

Each year as I clean up the Christmas decorations and gather up the cards I take time to cut off the written area and create post cards with the clean section which is usually the top with the graphic on the other side.

The Re-purposing of the Christmas card begins at that point. A Thank you note can be written on the left side of the post card with the address on the right side with the stamp.

Attach a label on the top left hand side of the card which says:

” This card has been Re-purposed! In 2011 we are trying to enhance our Recycle, Reduce and Reuse awareness! We invite your to join us in taking global issues local doing what we can to make the world a better place! Pay this idea forward to your friends and family! Together we CAN make a difference!”

Watch the video and see if this is something you might want to share!
