Repurposing content feels a lot like "reduce, reuse, recycle". You are converting materials into new materials so as not to create waste.
It's a great mental framework to use, not just for waste disposal, but for many different decisions.
Reduce
- Is this something that needs to be done?
Reuse
- Can I use something I already have?
- What else can this be used for?
Recycle
- Who else can use this now that I am done?
