Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
The waste management hierarchy, also known as the "three Rs," suggests that most importantly, we REDUCE how much waste we produce. After reducing waste, it's important that we REUSE material without adding any type of industrial process, or energy use. If waste items cannot be reduced or reused, it's important that we RECYCLE as much as possible to prevent new material from being harvested. Pay attention to what you buy to minimize packaging waste and consider how to reuse your purchases before putting it out on the curb with your recyclables.
