Question

Explain 3 'R' with examples

Answer 1

We cannot stop waste production entirely, but everyone can make a significant contribution. Think before you bin! It saves energy and natural resources, helps to reduce pollution and reduces the need for landfill.

The 'Reduce', 'Reuse' and 'Recycle' elements are referred to as the '3 R's'

Reducing - Try to reduce the amount of waste you produce, as this is the best way to help the environment! If you cannot avoid producing the waste

Reusing - Think of ways you could reuse something, like shredding paper for your hamster rather than buying bedding or saving glass jars for storage. If you can not reuse something..

Recycling (and composting)
This enables the materials you throw away to be used again by making them into new products.
