What Does "Reduce" Mean?
"Reduce" is the first step in the three R's, focusing on minimizing the amount of waste we generate by consuming less. It helps reduce the demand for new products and decreases the environmental impact of manufacturing and disposal. Reduce can be as simple as refusing unnecessary items, choosing quality products that last longer, or opting for alternatives.
By being mindful of our consumption habits and making conscious choices, we can significantly reduce the amount of plastic and waste entering our environment. This makes sustainability a habit through simple everyday decisions that have lasting environmental benefits.
