Do you own a shirt that reads “Reduce, Re-use, and Recycle”?

The actual meaning is lost on many enthusiasts. Wearing the cliché on your shirt isn’t enough anymore! The 3 R’s are an attitude and a life-style! Rather than it being obligatory, let it be a small change, a small try, just once! And why? Well, what begins as an experiment can lead to a novel routine! This ‘green’ attitude is not a fad and therefore shouldn’t be treated as a revolution but a natural evolution! Simple common-sense would be our driving-force.

Reduce, Re-use, and Recycle actually aren’t equal options but represent the hierarchy of waste-minimization.

In simpler words,

* Reduce the waste first and foremost so that you have less to figure out how to recycle.

* Re-use whatever you do use so that less is needed to be                                          manufactured, saving energy and raw-materials.

* And lastly recycle what simply cannot be reduced or re-used                              anymore and has to be thrown out.

In our following posts we’ll be looking at how to actually do these!
