Reduce

Reduce

Purchase goods that are long lasting. Turn the lights off when not being used. Conserve water. Bring your own shopping bag instead of using plastic bags. By doing small things like this, we can reduce the impact we have on the environment and creating unnecessary waste.

Reuse

Reuse

Instead of throwing away items, find a way to reuse and repurpose them. Use bottles as storage for food or decoration. Boxes are great for storage and the unprinted back of a paper can be used for note-taking. The more we reuse items, the more good we can do for our environment and community.
