Reduce

'source reduction', means consuming and

throwing away less

It includes:

Purchasing durable, long-lasting goods. Using products with less packaging.

Source reduction actually prevents the generation ofwaste in the first place, management and goes a

long way towards protecting the environment and

reducing costs.


23/103

27 October 2013 23

ReuseReusing items by repairing them, giving

used items to needy groups or selling them will

also reduce waste.

Reusing products, when possible, is even betterthan recycling

Ways to Reuse

Donate old magazines .

Reuse boxes.

27 October 2013 24

Recycling turns materials that would become

waste into valuable resources

Recycle

Materials like glass, metal, plastics and paperare collected, separated and sent to facilities

that can re-process them into new materials

or products.

Recycling is one of the best

environmental success stories

the bag with the fishing lines attached out far and they

are able to catch open water fish. This bag broke loose
