The 3Rs are :Reduce,Reuse and Recycle.

As many people know our planet is going to problems,and some of these problems, 3 R’s of environment i.e., Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, are essential parts of Waste Hierarchy. 3 R’s works together to reduce the waste generated and for the improvement of the waste management process. In short, we can call three R’s as “The principle of the waste management process.”

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle helps in reducing the amount of carbon-di-oxide in the atmosphere and save the environment. You can also be a part of this mission just by making a few changes in your daily lifestyle. Everyone’s contribution is needed to breathe healthily and live healthily. Let’s understand the 3 R’s of the environment in detail.

• The first R in the waste hierarchy is “Reduce.” The crucial thing in the waste management procedure is It would help if you used cloth napkins instead of using paper tissues because cloth napkins can be reused after wash, but paper napkins will only increase the amount of waste.

• One of the very common wastages we make is “wastage of paper while printing.” You should print on both sides of a paper to minimize the wastage of paper.

Most of the time, people get attracted to “use & throw type of products,” but these products do not run for a long time and eventually increases the amount of waste. Hence you should choose Choosing the correct item is the very first step in the process of recycling. You can go through the below-mentioned points to get an idea about the recycling items

Reuse – The Second “R” of Waste Hierarchy

If you have a bag full of old things that are not in use, then you can find out a way to reuse these thrown away things. The reuse of old stuff can reduce waste and does not affect the waste hierarchy. If you do not have any use of any of these thrown away items, then you can also donate it to someone who needs it.

The primary purpose of reusing old things is to minimize the amount of waste, whether you do it on your own through modifications or you donate it to someone needy. You’re thrown away item can be someone else’s take home. There are few tips mentioned below that can help you in reusing the old things.

• Most of the time, people have thrown away old jars that can be used to store various items in the kitchen. You can also use old jars to store other items such as computer wires, hairpins, accessories, etc.

• You can use old newspapers to pack old items to store. You can also use newspapers to wrap things when you are moving from one place to another.

• If you have any leftover old wood, you can use it for bonfire or firewood at home during winter.

• Your old clothes which are not in use now and you are planning to dump them; you can donate these clothes to poor people just for charity purpose.

• You can donate your old books & notebooks to poor kids so that they can also study to fulfill their dreams.

• Recycle – The Third “R” of Waste Hierarchy

• Recycling is the third stage of the waste management process. Recycling is a process in which the dumping items are transformed into a new item. You can also send your unused items to recycling centers. It is vital that you are well aware of the things that can be recycled.

Choosing the correct item is the very first step in the process of recycling. You can go through the below-mentioned points to get an idea about the recycling items.

• Try to buy an eco-friendly product from the market that is composed of recyclable material. The leftover material can be easily recycled after its usage.

• As and when possible, try to choose non-toxic material or products so that it can be recycled without any hazardous effects.

• You can also buy those items from the market which are made up of recycled material.

• You can also invent different ways from your end to recycling various items and products.

Apart from these 3 R’s of the environment “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle” we studied above, there are some other important types of R’s also present such as 5Rs of conservation and 7Rs of sustainability.
