Recycling vs. Reuse?
  While Recycling is very important, reuse stands at a higher importance to our environment. Recycling is a way to reuse that involves breaking down recyclable materials to make new products. Although technology has improved and recycling is not as expensive as it used to be, it still costs money. And though recycling takes less energy than it used to create a new product, it still takes energy. On the other hand, reuse is a way that we can conserve energy and resources without spending money. Reuse also allows you to give away something that may be valuable to someone else as well as gain valuable objects for which someone else no longer has a use. While it is important to both reuse and recycle to help reduce the amount of waste materials being disposed of in area landfills, reuse is an easier, less consuming way of doing it.
