1.What are examples soft reduce,reuse, and recycle?

One of the example of Reduce reuse and recycle is repurpose Glass, Plastic and Cardboard
Containers.One of the best uses for empty plastic soda bottles is as a planter for flowers and
herbs.  Take an empty 2-liter pop bottle and cut off the top two thirds, leaving the bottle’s bottom
third.  Wash it thoroughly and voila!  You have a reusable flower pot. In addition, empty glass
and plastic jars make excellent kitchen storage and can be used as mixing containers for
marinade or salad dressing. And, if you’re a shoe shopper, keep in mind that empty shoe boxes
make great storage bins for sundries like jewelry, toiletries and household items.Another is
designate a Kitchen Drawer for Plastic Bags.Oftentimes people will use plastic shopping bags
once and throw them away. Instead, designate a drawer in your kitchen where you store plastic
bags so that they can be reused. That small bag that carried your milk and bread home from the
grocer store can be used as a liner for the bathroom wastebasket or as a tool for cooking.
Looking for a way to get your chicken or fish completely covered in that bread crumb and spice
coating you just prepared?  Shake them together inside the plastic bag until every inch has been
covered and presto – dinner is served.Another one is Reuse your Home Delivered
Newspaper.If you’re one of the few people who still gets a print newspaper delivered to your
home, be aware that there are several ways to reuse that newspaper once you (and the rest of
your family) have read it.  You can use it as packing paper for fragile china, wrapping paper for
gifts or as a cleaning aid. Simply dip crumpled newspaper in water mixed with a splash of white
vinegar and clear up those windows in an instant, without harmful chemicals. Using minimum
packaging.Packaging materials like plastic bags, boxes, packing peanuts, and plastic wrappers often wind
up in landfills. Bring your own shopping bags instead of using plastic bags. If you don’t have shopping
bags, use paper bags instead of plastic because they decompose faster. Many stores have reusable bags
for sale at the register, and some stores even have used plastic bags for consumers to use.
Additionally,Buying local products.Besides stimulating the local economy, buying local products means
we can reduce negative environmental impacts from transportation.

wastes implemented under the policy of R.A. 9003 known as “Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of
2000.”The goal of the 3 R’s is to educate people on how to prevent excessive and unnecessary waste,
and to limit the consumption of non-renewable resources.
