Complete the conversation using the expressions given.
A: Hey, could you give me a hand with these leaflets? We need to throw them away.
B: Wait. Why are we throwing them away? They're only printed on one side.
A: But we don't need them anymore, and they're just taking up space.
B: Instead of throwing them away, why don't we reuse them? We could use the blank sides for notes or drawing paper.
A: But what if we don't have enough use for all of them?
B: We could ask the art club if they need some. They're always looking for scrap paper. Or we could donate them to a local school or community centre.
A: That's a great idea! Reusing the paper would be much better for the environment than just tossing it.
B: We should always try to minimise waste. Even small actions like this can make a big difference.
A: You're right. Let's pack these up and see who might need them.
B: Glad we found a better solution!
