In this day and age, we're all looking for ways to save. At the same time, more and more people are increasing their concerns for the planet. Recycling has been a great concept for a while, but one can argue that it does not seem like people are really doing all they can. Here are some tips and ideas to help you start saving in your own home.

    Reuse Plastic Bags

    Okay, I realize that plastic bags are already a bad thing right now. Increasingly, stores are starting to have customers pay for them! Yet, we often wind up with some of these bags. Instead of getting home and just throwing them out, reuse them.

    Collect your plastic bags and keep them in a designated place （away from children and pets）, such as a pantry or closet. They don't take up much space and will be there when you need them. Keep a few in your car to collect any garbage. Do the same thing in your home, as well. When garbage day comes around, put your little bits of garbage in the bags and throw them out.

    You can also use the bags to carry things with you, like food to work, a pair of shoes to change into, etc.

    Invest in a Water Bottle

    You don't have to just put water in it. It saves you the cost of buying individual water bottles, for one.

    These are just some ideas to hopefully spark your mind for new ideas to help save the environment and your money. Feel free to share your own ideas and tips in the comments!

    在現(xiàn)今時(shí)月，我們都希望節(jié)約。同時(shí)也越來(lái)越多的人關(guān)心環(huán)境。回收的美好構(gòu)想由來(lái)已久，但是有人表明，人們似乎并沒(méi)有盡力而為。下面有些小竅門和好主意可以幫你在自己家里開始節(jié)約。

    重復(fù)使用塑料袋

    恩，我認(rèn)為塑料袋現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)成了不好的東西。慢慢地，商店將不再向顧客免費(fèi)發(fā)放。然而，我們還是經(jīng)常有不少塑料袋。與其把他們放在家里或是扔掉，不如重復(fù)使用。

    收集這些袋子并放在一個(gè)固定的地方（孩子們和寵物夠不著的地方）,比如說(shuō)櫥柜和儲(chǔ)藏室。他們不怎么占地方，而且你要用的時(shí)候就可以找到。放幾個(gè)放在車?yán)镅b垃圾。也放些在家里裝垃圾。到了收垃圾那天，把小的廢物裝進(jìn)袋子然后一起扔掉。

    你也可以用這些袋子來(lái)裝吃的到上班的地方，或者裝一雙可換的鞋子等。

    買個(gè)水壺/水杯

    你不一定要用來(lái)裝水。有了水壺，你可以省下買瓶裝水的費(fèi)用。

    以上這些主意不過(guò)是希望幫助你想些新的辦法來(lái)保護(hù)環(huán)境和省錢。歡迎來(lái)分享你的觀點(diǎn)和竅門！
