This week Joe and Anita talk about something better than recycling ... reusing! That's right, we explore how get the most benefit out of existing resources, before we ship them off to become something else.
Along the way we talk about why reusing beats recycling, have an interview with Zwaggle founder Adam Levy, and share a few of the ways we reuse in our home, including the introduction of a tip that makes use of all those tiny bits of crayon.
But this isn't all about us, rather, we realize that you, our listeners, have lots of reusing ideas to share, and we want to encourage you to do so in the comments section on this post, with best comment receiving a prize from Milkshake music.

1. Zwaggle/Freecycle
Zwaggle sounds a bit like Freecycle, which has been around since 2003. It does not have the points system though.
As far as re-use goes: I only rent out one room in a house at the moment, so I don't have a lot of space to keep much. I re-use a shoe box as a make-shift stand for my laptop when I'm in bed. Does that count?
2. Freecycle
We've used Freecycle as well, we just haven't worked out the interview with them yet ... well, that and we had to show the local guy some love.
I'd say the shoebox counts, so who knows, you might get some tunes for a future lil-Ross.
3. Zwaggle Vs. Freecycle
Zwaggle and Freecycle have similar ideas, but Zwaggle is focused on families, so we have a community of mostly (not exclusively) parents, which lends a nice touch to what we have going. We have a bond and trust between our users which is very unique and something that a lot of people appreciate.
4. Apparently I like to Comment
SO SORRY... I kept getting an error message so kept posting my comment thinking it wasn't working... and it just posted it about a million times! I only meant to share my comment ONCE! Oops!
SORRY... and great interview!
5. No Problem
You're not the first to do that (I just cleaned up the other ones before you got here). I'm working on resolving that issue ... I guess I'll find out if my latest attempts were successful when I post this comment.
6. Another Test
Yeah, how many of these will I delete?
