            HOW? - buying less things - choosing products carefully - less packaging

• REUSE: use a thing more than 1 time. Objects have a lot of lives. 

            HOW?  - invent a new use for an object (Be creative!) - repair broken things - donate the things that you don't need / like any more 

• RECYCLE: transform waste materials into new things to reduce the need of raw (more) materials. 

        HOW? - take glass to the green container - take the paper to the blue container - take the         plastic (BOTTLES and BOXES) and metal (TINS) to the yellow container. Etc.
