3R is a very famous term used to describe the 3 ways one can help produce less waste, and it is often symbolized by three arrows, arranged in a triangle. Like this:
The 3R:
Reduce the amount of waste you produce.
Reuse old items or repair if broken or donate to the unfortunate.
Recycle as much as possible or buy recycled products to support recycling.
Reduce simply means throwing away less. This involves the purchasing of long-lasting goods that come in minimal packaging. Since reduction prevents the production of waste in the first place, it is the most preferable method of waste management in the long term.
Reuse means finding way to use things over and over again instead throwing them away. This includes repairing them, donating them to charity groups or using them in a different way. For example, old clothes, books, toys, colour pencils and etc can be donated to the orphans and the less fortunate. We can also use grocery bags instead of plastic bags.
Recycling can be considered a breakthrough in waste reduction strategy. It turns unwanted materials into valuable materials. By recycling, we can reduce the need for new landfills and incinerators. The recycling process involves the collection of recyclable materials, sorting and processing them into raw materials and manufacturing them into new products. We can also purchase recycled goods.
Reducing, reusing, and recycling helps lessen our impact on the environment and benefits the community.
You, can make a difference!
