The concept of 3r means “reduce, reuse, and recycle”. By reducing, reusing, and recycling, you can help save money and energy, reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and prevent or delay the amount of waste that needs to be recycled, landfilled or incinerated. There are a great many simple and easy ideas for reducing, reusing and recycling everyday items.
For example, carry silverware with you and avoid using plastic silverware during lunch at work. Recycling can also be good for your community and help others. Consider donating reusable items such as furniture and working appliances to a local thrift shop or church or building materials to a local Habitat for Humanity project.
