environment?
REDUCE
• Only buy what you need
• Bring your water bottle to school/anywhere you go rather
than buying water that comes in plastic bottles.
• Bring your eco bag, lunch box, and food containers when
buying food from carenderias or restaurants.
• Start a compost pile in the backyard.

environment?
REUSE
• Shop secondhand. It helps others make money off their
unwanted items. At the same time, it keeps old items out of
the landfill and saves the resources and energy needed to
make new ones.
• Be creative. For example: turning unused mason jars into
decorative ornaments at home, sew some old jeans into an
apron, etc.
• Turn used paper into art supplies or scrap paper for making
shopping lists.
