Reuse things you don't use anymore


Reusing things is to give a second chance to things that you don’t use anymore.
When you have things that you think they don’t have use anymore, you can create them in cute and creative things.
You can create many things like, a bottle you can convert it in a little purse,or an old newspaper you can turn it in a pencilcase. Also you can use a magazine that you already read and you can make an original bracelet. The thing is just to liberate your creativity and have initiative.

To reuse things is a very good way to stop contaminating the world and also you can save money and use your creativity.



How to save water at home


Everyone can save the water that you are using in home and cooperate. Maybe you think that is not too much what you save of water, but if all of us contribute with this cause, we can do it.

 Things  that you can do to save water in your home is  that, when you take a shower put a tray under the water until it gets warm, and then you can use that water to water the plants or other things. Another good idea to save water is when you wash the dishes. First soap them, and then rinse all of them at the same time, so you save more water.

This are some of the many ways that you can save water, it’s not too difficult and you can contribute to save the 3% of sweet water in the planet.


Garbage Homes

Is a project created by Ingrid Vaca Diez, a bolivian woman who creates homes for poor people. She build the houses with very few founds and she only uses the resources she finds that are plastic bottles.

She makes the houses by filling the plastic bottles with dirt and sand, and she use that bottles as “bricks”.
She has been doing houses since 2006 and now she has built more than 10 houses. 
She likes doing this voluntary job because she helps others that need it and she has become an important person to them. Pricipally she  helps poor people in Bolivia, but recently she has built houses in other parts of the world.



This shows that with very little and cheap things you can help others and even change their lives and their environment. 



Tiny Houses



This is a movement also called the “Small House Movement”, it’s about living in tiny houses of approximately 46m2 living with only the necessary and optimizing the space.  

Many people nowdays want to spread this movement around the world because it helps to save resources and to preserve the environment. It also helps you to reuse things and to be more organized. People that live in small houses think better before they buy things only because they look attractive, and instead they buy things that can be more useful.

This movement is becoming very important because it helps to reduce contamination and it also helps yourself because you save a lot of money and you have a simplier lifestyle.
