4. Definition: Minimize waste by using less. Examples: - Use both sides of paper. - Avoid single-use plastics. - Buy only what you need. Benefits: Less production = less pollution. Reduce

5. Definition: Use items more than once instead of throwing them away. Examples: - Use glass bottles instead of plastic. - Repurpose old clothes or containers. - Donate unused items. Benefits: Extends product life, reduces waste. Reuse

6. Recycle Definition: Convert waste materials into new products. Examples: - Recycle paper, metal, glass, and plastic. - Compost organic waste. Benefits: Saves energy and reduces need for raw materials.

7. The 3R Pyramid Top: Reduce (most effective) Middle: Reuse Bottom: Recycle (least effective but still important)

8. How We Can Practice the 3Rs - Carry reusable bags and bottles. - Sort waste at home (dry/wet). - Support recycling programs. - Educate others about waste management.
