Reducing and Reusing Basics
The most effective way to reduce waste is by not creating it in the first place. Making a new product requires a lot of materials and energy. Raw materials must be extracted from the earth, and then the product must be fabricated and transported to wherever it will be sold.
As a result, reduction and reusing are the most effective ways you can save natural resources, protect the environment and save money.
