Reduce, Reuse & Recycle for saving the environment

There are three R's i.e. Reduce, Reuse & Recycle which you can apply for saving the environment. It is a concept of the modern waste management.

  • Reduce: Do not use what you do not need actually to reduce garbage. It means, if we reduce at source, there is a lesser chance of waste generation and the natural resources is reduced.
    For example: If we can reduce the use of unnecessary items while shopping, buy items with minimal packaging, avoid buying disposable items and also use your own reusable cloth or jute bags instead of plastic bags.
  • Reuse: Use things again and again. It means reuse the materials for other purposes, such as making pillow covers or rags out of used shirts or ladies suits.
  • Recycling: Recycle resources for reuse. It means reusing some components of the waste that may have some economic value. Some materials, such as aluminum and steel can be recycled many times. Plastic items are recycled into new plastic products, Kitchen wet waste can be utilised to make compost that can be used as an organic fertiliser, etc.
