How can Earth's resourccces be used wisely?
Well obviously there is reusing, reducing, and recycling, so lets name a few things that can be done as one of the 3 Rs that most people trhow out.
Water bottles. Instead of throwing them out, put them in the recycling bin. That bin is normally very close by and it requires almost no effort to move a feew feet. Also, you can reuse a water bottle by filling it up again with water or another drink for another time, or you can cut it apart and make a really cool art project, build a bird feeder out of it, or a bottle rocket. Also, you can cut of half of it and put a small plant under it instead of it being by a window. Or you could simply reduce the amount of water bottles you use by buying a thermous and putting your drinks in there.

Another bottle you can do things with is a milk carton. You can cut it and make a piggy bank, which also involves reusing egg cartons. That is better since more reusing.
Cardboard boxes can also be recycled but you can do some seriously cool things with cardboard boxes. If you have enough, you can build a fort, draw and doodle on it instead of wasting paper you re most likely going to end up throwing away. Also, like most things, you can make it into an art project. Cut it a bit and it can be a tube or other cool things. Plus, make the carboard box flat and you can recycle it.
