Recycling, or how things go from bad to worse for my newspaper bag

Reusing is the best kind of recycling because no energy is consumed in making the old thing into a new thing.

My daily Wall Street Journal is delivered in a plastic bag. I keep the bag and bring it with me to work. After I go jogging at lunch, the sweaty clothes are stored in that bag for transport back home. Once I get home the clothes go in the laundry hamper and the bag goes into the box where we store bags for picking up Meenah's leavings.
