A Sustainable Life
There are many ways to make life more sustainable. Follow the 3R Rule – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
- Reduce – make recycle friendly choices so you have less waste
- Reuse – use the same item more than once, rather than disposing
- Recycle – buy products made from recycled materials
