3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Replace)

The 3Rs—Reduce, Reuse, and Replace—are guiding principles for minimizing environmental impact. Reduce means cutting down on waste by using fewer resources, like buying only what you need. Reuse involves finding new purposes for items instead of discarding them, such as repurposing jars or clothing. Replace encourages swapping out less sustainable materials or products with more eco-friendly alternatives, like using biodegradable packaging instead of plastic. Together, these practices help conserve resources, lower pollution, and support sustainability—benefiting the environment and future generations.
