Ways to Reuse a Newspaper
- 1). Crumple up your old newspaper and use it as packaging material for any outgoing mail you send. It's a biodegradable material that will protect any fragile items you have in your package.
- 2). Use your old newspaper as garden mulch or weed block instead of purchasing traditional mulch from the store. Lay it five pages thick on the soil, then place soil overtop of the newspaper to keep it from blowing away.
- 3). Burn the newspaper in your fireplace or in an outside fire. This cheap paper can act as kindling for starting fires, and it's completely fine for the environment.
- 4). Use a couple of pages of newspaper as a hot pad for when you serve hot dishes at the dinner table. The paper will insulate the pan or baking dish from burning the table, and keep the food warm too.
- 5). Use crumpled-up pieces of newspaper as a window cleaner for any household or commercial window. The paper won't leave pieces of lint like ordinary towels will, and it leaves a nice, streak-free shine. Crumple up the newspaper in a ball, spray the window cleaner on the window, and rub the newspaper in a circular motion to clean the window.
