Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Not so long ago, the 3 Rs stood for reading, riting and rithmatic. Those days are long past and today, you hear 7 year olds reciting the 3 Rs as Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Our world is increasingly looking for ways to reduce the post consumer waste stream and conserve natural resources to create a more sustainable and healthly environment for future generations of people and the biodiversity that surrounds them.
The 3 Rs are the top tier of what is commonly know as the waste pyramid a simplistic view of waste management strategies. In order of importance starting at the top: (1) reduce what is created and used, (2) reuse what can easily and efficiently be reused, (3) recycle post consumer items into new items that can be used again. Biodegrading and composting typically fall under the recycling umbrella. (4) waste-to-energy programs and (5) discard into the environment.
