Follow the recycling rule of 5R, in order to produce less waste.
Recycle
Recycle as much as I can. By recycling we collect materials that could have ended up in the garbage. This amount of material can be turned into useful new materials.
Reuse
I reuse as much materials as I can for different purposes. Reusability is better than recycling. In this way we reduce the production of new products.
Refuse
I do not buy products that are unfriendly to the environment. In this way we can manage the market. YES. We have the power.
Reduce
I reduce my needs. So, we limit the trash material we produce and consume.
