Buying durable shoes and making them last keeps them away from the trash. I love making things last. It's eco-friendly.

These are my favorite work shoes. I had them sewn recently because one of them got loose off my toes.

Recycling is dignity. It has been a habit to me to use my worn out shoulder pads as dishwashing pads so I sewed them together to make them thick and last for washing.

Reusing and repairing to make things last is being good to the environment. I do not tolerate that buy and throw attitude.

I have my own repair/sewing kit to make things last. I segregated used buttons for future use. They came from my old uniforms and clothes which I plan to transform into shopping/grocery bags.

The shorter the hair, the less impact on the environmen - less water, shampoo, conditioner - a wash and wear hairstyle for a public high school teacher like me.

It's my third hair cut for the past three months.

I was telling Ate Esther to stop the blow dry to save energy and reduce impact on the environment. My hair cut need no dryer anyway.

Trash boxes- all recycled stuff for my classroom, not an easy thing at first until these became a part of my lifestyle. It all began with little things led to big things like saving this Earth.

Reusing and recycling stuff reduces trash. I love it.

These are used folder and gift wrap.

 

My new folder for school!

Sorting school stuff reduces cutting of trees and trash. This is my practice every now and then.

I brought out some of the pile of papers on my table and book shelves. I separated those which can still be reused or recycled and those which can be of use to my neighbor.

These are for my neighbor who uses paper to ignite burning wood for cooking instead of buying kerosene.
