Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Report
Everyone knows or has heard about the three R's.
But what do they really mean?
When we talk about the waste we generate and how it's managed, these terms are listed in order of priority.
Let's take a look at each term individually.
Reduction is priority #1.
Use less stuff, decrease your consumption and minimize your waste footprint.
Ultimately, garbage is buried in a landfill and never used again.
Reducing requires people to think about how to prevent trash and household waste from going into the garbage can.
