In this day and age you are always looking for ways to make things last. You want to get the last drop of everything, from every juice container, every can of sauce, and every last bit of toothpaste and squeeze the last bit of energy out from any batteries you may be using. With the significant plunge of the country's economy over the past few years and the consequent surge in prices of all sorts, the need to recycle, to reuse and save becomes ever more important. Getting the most of every product, every last bite and every last bit can make the difference and save you a few pennies. And in a country where you never know when or for how much longer you will be holding onto your job the tricks to saving can make all the difference. From big things to little things, from cans to papers, plastics to aluminum what can be recycled should be recycled. We have lived far too long in a country and in a world that doesn't know how to make the most of its natural resources, we have been living in a place that doesn't understand the need and urgency to do something until it is too late. And now especially, as the country and the world rests in a state of emergency, of hurried and uncertain future outcomes it is that much more important to get those last drops. And in any way possible.

This means thinking about your belongings in a different way. Now when you are through with that jar of jelly and think about rinsing it out, tossing it away, maybe you can consider another way to reuse it. Maybe you can store something in it, or at least you can take the time to recycle it so its life does not end in your hands. And sometimes this recycling of products can benefit you in more ways that just saving the earth. Sometimes you have the opportunity to make money from the things you are able to reuse or recycle. For instance say you have a broken computer, a broken ipad, or something of the sort, why not sell it? Sell broken ipads, you ask? Yes, although it may sound like a far fetched idea, it can really turn out to not only benefit the earth, another person and your pocket as well. When you sell broken ipads or broken computers or even a broken down car, you give someone else a chance of either repairing that item or selling it like new again or of using the parts for something else.

If you sell broken ipads or other forms of technology like this, you can put a few extra pennies in your pocket and make a difference. Whether the product is turned around and reused as an ipad once more or it may come back in a completely different form, either way you made that difference. And truly, these days, every little bit counts. Every piece saves. Every broken ipad sold. It all counts and it all starts with you.
