In the context of natural resources, the following terms refer to

  • Reduce: This means to use a material/commodity in a lesser quantity.
  • Recycle: This means a material that is used once, is collected and sent back to a manufacturer so that they can make some other useful materials from it.
  • Reuse: It means using a thing over and over again instead of throwing it away. This is even better than recycling because the process of recycling uses some energy.

From among the materials we use in daily life, we can:

  • Reduce electricity use and reduce petroleum usage.
  • Recycle used paper, plastic bottles, and metal objects.
  • Reuse plastic bottles, polythene bags etc.
