How to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
No man can live outside planet Earth. We all know it, and still we continue
ruining it ourselves by polluting it big time. If this foolishness continues, we’ll have no
place to go. We can save the Earth from the great disaster called “pollution” by doing
these 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Reduce. Did you know that our staple wire usage, if added all in all, would sum
up to 100 kg per day? Now, if we do not touch that precious little stapler for just a day,
that would be a helping kilogram to save. We can reduce in so many countless ways,
and it’s always better to start in you. Prioritize your NEEDS rather than you’re your
WANTS. Buy clothes only if you need it. Always make it a point that you consider the
quality of everything you buy.
Reuse. Well, we can safely say that reusing is the sister of recycling. It’s just
that, it is so simple you’ll just use a certain thing to its extent or using the used material
in other, more creative way. Reuse things like plastic bags from supermarkets and
department stores, then use them at home as your garbage bag. Hand down clothes to
your younger siblings. Pick up those old research papers that have blank page behind
it and use it for fast draft printing. Reusing is as easy as 1-2-3.

Recycle. Now this is the most exciting part of saving the Earth from Dr. X,
because you’ll not just save our dear mother Gaia, you will actually earn from it. Here’s
how you do it: First, put up at least four trash bins. Second, put a color coding so that
little children may know what to throw which. Put also a label on each bins with
“Biodegradable, Non-Biodegradable, papers and bottles. After the bins have been filled
with rubbish, take it out of its bins and have readied for its new adventure. Dig the dirt
in your yard and bury the items that can easily rot, like the ones we could see in the
Biodegradable bins. Those rubbish that belong to the Non-biodegradable family should
be dragged straight to the curb. Separate the glass bottles from the plastic bottles and
bring it to the nearest junkshop. Take also with you the papers and have them weighed.
They will pay you accordingly.
To sum up all these, we can save the Earth from serious destruction by reducing,
reusing and recycling.
