Well I like repurposing and using items creatively. Recycling is very important and if we can reduce the items that heads to our landfills I think we should.

Every year, Americans throw away enough paper and plastic cups, forks, and spoons to circle the equator 300 times. Only about 1 percent of the over 7 billion pounds of PVC thrown away in the U.S. each year is recycled.

It is estimated that 251 million tons of consumer solid waste is generated each year in the U.S. and 66.8% was sent to a landfill or is incinerated.

So recycling and repurposing should be a good thing. But… we should only do so when the repurposing serves its purpose.
