Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

This document discusses ways for people to reduce, reuse, and recycle in order to conserve resources and protect the environment. It defines the three R's - reduce, reuse, recycle. To reduce means to use less of something by actions like using both sides of paper, taking shorter showers, and walking more. Reusing means finding new purposes for items that would otherwise be trash, like using a pizza box as an art easel or making bird feeders from milk jugs. Recycling processes materials so they can be used again, saving landfill space and resources. The document encourages recycling common items like cans, paper, glass and encourages thinking about recycled products in our daily lives.
