Reduce Reuse Recycle

With increasing urbanization one of the major challenges is the rising amount of generated waste and littering due to high demand for food products and other essentials. We can tackle this problem by reducing the production of garbage, reusing the reusable products and recycle waste like plastic, paper etc. This can be achieved by practising the three R’s— Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Reduce:

We can reduce the amount of waste by throwing less. For example:

  • Do not buy a new school bag, lunch box or pencil box when you already have a perfectly usable one.
  • Carry your own cloth bag when you go for shopping to avoid the use of polythene bags.
  • Use metal or china plates instead of disposable plastic paper plates and cups.
  • Take as much food on your plate as you can eat.
  • Use ink pens instead of ballpoint pens as ink pens can be refilled.
  • Reuse:

    Reuse is to use an item more than once. Reusing of items is another method of reducing waste. For example:

  • Plastic jars in which we get food items like pickles and jams can be reused later on for storing things like salt, spices, sugar and pulses.
  • Mats can be made from old clothes.
  • Old clothes and furniture should be donated to the poor so that they can be reused.
  • Reuse old newspapers to make carry bags or old charts to cover your books and notebooks.
  • Paper napkins can be replaced with cloth napkins which can be washed and reused.
  • Recycle:

    The process by which waste material are used  to make new product is called recycling material like glass  metal ,plastic and paper are collected separated and  recycled to make new things. Paper can be converted into many forms.
