All about Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
The three Rs are a simple guide to looking after resources. Reduce means using less in the first place, reuse means finding new ways to use things again and recycle means turning materials into new products. Reducing is the most effective of the three.
Buying less, choosing durable products and repairing things instead of replacing them all help. Reusing a water bottle or a shopping bag and recycling paper and metal cans complete the cycle of looking after our resources.
