Presentation on 3 R's Reduce Reuse and Recycle

1. WORK EDUCATION R educe , R euse and R ecycle

2. Reduce Reducing is the first and most effective of the three Rs. It means reducing your consumption or buying less. Designing items like plastic bottles in ways that use less material is another way to reduce consumption. Using steel cutlery instead of plastic utensils, buying used goods , mending clothes instead of buying new ones and consuming less electricity are all examples of ways you can reduce in your own life .

3. Ways to Reduce Waste: Print on both sides of the paper to reduce paper wastage. Use electronic mail to reach out to people instead of sending paper mail . Remove your name from the mailing lists that you no longer want to receive . Use cloth napkins instead of paper napkins . Avoid using disposable plates, spoons, glass, cups and napkins . They add to the problem and result in a large amount of waste.

4. Avoid buying items that are over-packaged with foil , paper, and plastic. This excess packaging goes to waste. Buy durable goods that have an extended warranty. They generally run longer and save landfill space. Use refillable pens instead of buying too many . Purchase multi-tasking products that perform different kinds of jobs in one . If something doesn’t have a valid purpose or real use anymore , then it adds to your waste. If you’re not using any item for a long time, it’s time to put it away .

5. Reuse Rather than throwing out items like clothing or food jars, consumers can find new uses for them – and thereby reduce their consumption of new resources . Composting, using jars to store beverages or leftover food, and trading or selling used DVDs rather than throwing them out are all examples of ways people can reuse. Reusing is the second most effective of the three Rs: like reducing, it avoids creating waste rather than trying to recycle it once it's already there.

6. Reuse Below Items: Old jars and pots: Old jars and pots can be used to store items in the kitchen. They can also be used to store loose items together, such as computer wires . Tyres:  Old tyres can either be sent to the recycling station or can be used to make tyre -swing . Used wood:   Used wood can be used as firewood or can be used as woodcraft . Newspaper:   Old newspapers can be used to pack items when you’re planning to move to another home or store old items.

7. Envelopes: Old and waste envelopes can be used by children to make short notes. W aste paper:  Waste paper can be used to make notes and sketches and can be sent to the recycling center when you don’t need them anymore . Old jeans or t-shirts or any clothes:  These can be turned into bags or tote-bags with the help of tutorials available on the internet. At least old clothes can become cleaning rags . Be creative:  Apply DIY on old clothes, bottles, jars, pots , vases, or anything else to convert them into other utilities and use further.

8. Recycle Recycling is the third of the three Rs. Recycling extracts valuable materials from items that might otherwise be considered trash and turns them into new products. Communities have a variety of recycling programs, such as curbside pickup of recyclables, buy-back centers that pay you for valuable items and deposit-refund programs. As a consumer, we can also help recycling by purchasing products made from recycled material , such as toilet paper made from recycled pulp.

9. Ways to Recycle Waste: Buy products from the market that are made up of recycled materials i.e., the product should be  environment friendly. All products are recyclable such as some plastics. There is usually a recycling symbol on the bottom of products to know whether or not it is recyclable . Buy products that can be recycled like paper, glass, aluminum , plastic, etc. used in the house, school or office. Aluminum can be recycled multiple times . Buy products that have been made from recycled materials.

10. Invent new ways to recycle different items. However, recyclables need to be gathered systematically and separated from the rest of the trash , ensuring a continuous supply for the recycling process . Avoid buying hazardous materials that could pose difficulty for you to recycle. Buy non-toxic products whenever possible . Using recycled products is as important as recycling items . Recycling can become economically viable only when the recycled products are given significance and put to use .

11. Benefits of the 3 R’s: Reduce, Reuse & Recycle The 3R’s conserve energy and resources and generate jobs in resource management and boost the economy . It helps increase the use of renewable energy sources like solar , wind, geothermal, etc. as well . It encourages the development of green technology that is ways to create cleaner, safer means of waste disposal  while reducing the impact on the environment and all habitats.

12. It contributes to more sustainable energy consumption as the resources available on hand are used, and excessive consumption is cut down. It promotes the sustainability of not only energy and resources but also the environment. The primary objective of 3R principle is to lessen the use of newer resources and energy, making more efficient use of resources. It promotes resource efficiency by using the already available resources that are used multiple times, reprocessed , or entirely reduced.  It also reduces pollution as large amounts of waste associated with our consumption inevitably leads to pollution of soil, air & water.
