Recycle

Instead of throwing away any unused items, recycle them as new products. This can include plastic, paper, glass, cardboard items, etc. This will help significantly in reducing the generation of waste.

Reduce

The making of new products involves a variety of materials and leads to waste generation and pollution. Turn off the lights when not in use and reduce the use of items that are made with non-biodegradable materials such as plastic.
