I am a tin can...... What lies in store for me now that I am empty of my original contents? I could be recycled...a good option but it will mean using vital resources through transportation and the recycling processes involved. Ideally I could serve a useful purpose as I am. If I am treated well, I could last for a very long time. My reuse could also help to reduce the manufacturing of a new item when I can do the same job perfectly well. This further reduces the cycle of depleting the earth resources to keep producing new products. Lets use what we have.
