THE THREE RS OF THE ENVIRONMENT
People everywhere in the world produce a lot of rubbish. If we want to save our planet, then the so-called three Rs are essential for learning how to deal with the waste we produce. The three Rs are reduce, reuse. and recycle.
REDUCE
A good place to start is by buying things that don't have a lot of packaging. Then there are items you may not use very often a you might as well borrow them from someone instead of buying them. Nowadays, newspapers can be read online so buying the paper edition is not necessary. The same goes for emails and hence it is usually not necessary to print them out. Generally, the use of electricity can be greatly reduced by, for example, turning off lights that are not used
REUSE
When you go shopping, refuse plastic bags and bring a bag with you very useful to store thingt instead. If you're not buying a lot, a bag is not necessary to begin with Reusable bags should be heavier and more durable. If you prepare your lunch at home put it in a plastic lunch box.
RECYCLE
Recycling is a process that makes it possible to create new products out of old ones Paper, aluminium, glass and plastic can often be recycled Glass has been used for thousands of years and is relatively easy to recycle Aluminium can be repeatedly recycled quickly and easily Paper is recyclable but it cannot be recycled forever.
