What are the three R’s to save the environment? Explain with one example of each.
✓

Answer

The three R’s to save the environment are:
  1. Reduce: Reduce means that we use less of the natural resources by cutting down on those practices which lead to their wastage. For example – we can reduce the wastage of electricity by switching off unnecessary lights and fans.
  2. Recycle: Recycling means that we should collect the used and discarded items of paper, plastic, glass and metals, and send them to the respective industries for making fresh paper, plastic, glass or metal objects.
  3. Reuse: Reuse means that we should use the same things again. For example plastic jars in which we buy various food items like Jams, pickles etc, can be used later on for storing things like salt and sugar.
