Seeing that paper contributes to the most number of wastes and garbage, it is rather right to recycle paper. While it is true that the office has the most number of used papers, our homes can also play a part in the total global number litter and unused paper. With the worldwide campaign to recycle as much to battle the negative effects of global warming, recycling at home can also give us a few other benefits. One of those is for money. When you recycle, you can earn money, and some earn more than they have imagined. Let me show you here exceptional ideas to recycle paper at home and earn money.

• HOME MADE PAPER

There is a variety of uses for home made paper, and one of the most common is for scrapbooking. Scrapbooks are physical testament of your creativity and love of nature. From the name itself, you use scraps to record important events and names in your life and file it in a book.

• Reuse Paper Before Disposing/Recycling

Our homes have many unused paper, and some of them are just thrown away. Little did we know that we can still use it for some other purposes. The blank side of your paper can be used as a shopping list, or any list for that matter, a sample print page for your new cartridge or ribbon, or you can use it for your child's practice coloring. Instead of using a new page, by reusing them before throwing it away, you minimize the number of wastes. And after using and reusing them, use it to feed your backyard worms. Compost it in your backyard or in a compost pit near you and do not burn it. Burning adds to pollution and is detrimental to the environment's health. You cannot actually earn from this, but you can save a couple of bucks if you reuse them instead of buying a new one.

• BOOK SAFE

I personally find this very creative and innovative. If you are the type who wants to keep personal and important belongings in an area not visible and obvious to people, you can use a book safe instead of keeping them inside a vault. This is done simply by cutting some pages in your book or novel, put in the things you want to keep, and place it on the shelf together with the other books. No one will suspect that that particular item contains important pieces. If you will put your money inside it while you are out, say inside the train, I bet your handheld novel will not interest any thief. Earn money by offering this idea to your friends.
