Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - The Three R's

The planet Earth, where we reside, has much to offer. Water, forests, minerals, resources, and various other things sustain the survival of human beings and lead to a life above the standard, including leisure and luxury. But we as human beings are offering what other than massive pollution, overpopulation, climate change, and impurities in our environment. The earth has come to a condition where steps need to be taken instantly. From the optimum use of resources and some significant lifestyle changes, only we will be able to save our planet. Every day we see water taps running in public places, people littering all over roads and tourist sites, and the excessive use of plastic bags even after knowing the hazards it causes to our environment. These and many more practices are done by humans regularly, adding to the harmful effects our Mother Earth has to endure. The only way to regain a sustainable environment is by initiating some steps at home.

• Starting with waste segregation, each household needs to keep separate trash cans for dry, wet, and biomedical waste.

• What you consider the trash, a lot of times, can be reused and recycled. For instance, vegetable peels or kitchen waste can be reused to make natural compost and manure for house plants.

• The water you use to wash your fruits and vegetables can be collected and poured into plants and trees.

• Despite collecting polythene bags, make a habit of carrying a jute bag or a cotton bag whenever you go out to buy groceries, fruits, and vegetables.

• Minimise electricity use, start consuming solar energy, and make optimum use.

• The plastic bottles of soda, coke and other beverages can be recycled and reused in various ways, as you can make a planter out of it by drilling some holes and potting a plant.
