Don't recycle old magazines
The magazines that come through my mail slot meet a variety of fates. Some issues get saved indefinitely while others go immediately to the recycling bin. Well, I'm not recycling anymore. You heard me, I will no longer be recycling my magazines. I'm going to give them away instead.
Most of my magazines are barely crumpled or even read which make them great candidates for passing along to friends.

Other ways to re-use magazines are ...

- Send articles and cartoons of interest to friends.
- Shred the pages to use as filler for mailing packages.
- Cut out images and decoupage away!
