The 3 Rs

REDUCE

The first rule to consider is the reduction of the amount of waste produced. Consumers should adopt green behavior, acquiring resistant materials, having a higher lifetime, rejecting all that is to use once. They prefer, for example, cloth towels and napkins instead of paper, to avoid purchasing aluminum and plastic rolls, avoiding the use of tableware or plastic containers taper so as to achieve a significant reduction of waste volumes and choose the packages for which there is a package tour of recycling. Companies, in turn, should produce less waste, making smaller packages with lower costs of energy and natural resources.

REUSE

Reuse means to use more than once a particular product. We all more or less consciously ever had behaviors environmentally friendly, particularly in the different use we give to certain materials.
With a little imagination and creativity can reuse materials, giving them another feature. A simple candy tin can be used to put pens, sewing material or for decoration.
Empty bottles of glass or plastic can be used to store other beverages, packaging can be exploited for other purposes, appliances, furniture, toys can be donated to people in need or sold as used objects and magazines, newspapers and books can be delivered in schools, institutions, libraries, community centers and hospitals.

RECYCLE

Recycling is a process of transforming waste into new products or raw materials.
Materials such as paper, plastic, metal, rubber, glass and wood, which no longer meet the needs of its possessor should be selectively separated and placed in the appropriate collection point.
These materials thus enter the recycle loop, giving rise to new objects that would otherwise be discarded as waste.
