What Does Reuse Mean?
"Reuse" is the second step in the three R's, focusing on using items multiple times instead of discarding them. It helps reduce waste, conserve resources, and minimize environmental impact. Reuse can be as simple as refilling containers, using cloth bags instead of plastic, or repurposing old materials for new uses.
By choosing to repair, donate, or thrift rather than dispose, we extend the life cycle of products and reduce the demand for new ones. This makes sustainability a part of everyday life through simple choices that have lasting environmental benefits.
