DAY 3
REDUCE, REUSE, and then RECYCLE.
Order here matters…that is…. for conservation efforts to be most effective
Although recycling is better than throwing something away, the process still requires a great deal of energy to transport and sort materials.
therefore REDUCING is the key principle
First: Reduce the amount of products you use Second: use them again recycle third
It is estimated that landfills in ILLINOIS only have
10 years worth of space left : What’s your state’s number?
Challenge: how far away is your recycling center and landfill? What additional recycling services does your municipality offer?
can you obtain a large container instead of a small bin and make an attempt to recycle more items than you throw away?
