The basics of environmental sustainability is the three R's, and I recently realized I didn't have a post on them.
Reduce
The first stage of environmental responsibility. It encourages people to only buy what they need, and to cut down on the amount of resources they use. Also, try to buy products with less packaging.
Re-use
This is the second step for environmental responsibility. For all the things you are about to throw out, think about how you could give it a second life, or if there is anyone else you know who could use it.
Recycle
This is the third step for environmental responsibility. It means that once you've used an item, recycle it so that less new materials have to be used up.
The three R's are a very important part of helping the environment, and should be kept in mind whenever buying something new, or getting rid of something.
**What is you the thing you know is bad for the environment, but you buy or do anyways? **
I know it's bad but I get my mom to use plastic bags to pack my lunch because I don't like to carry the empty containers around to bring home.
ReplyDeleteI can say that it helps when you got Recycle containers near your house, we got for plastic bottles.. it helps when you got containers near your house, cause if there weren't i know that people would have trow them to the garbage.
ReplyDeletethe city halls need to help in that.

Sometimes I throw paper in the garbage because the garbage can is closer than the recycling bags. This is me just being lazy.

After reading some of your blog, I am more aware of just how much I waste needlessly. Thanks for the tips. Keep it green.
