3. REDUCE
•Buy products with minimal packaging and recycle any
packaging where possible.
•Bulk-buy products with a long shelf-life.
•Avoid individually wrapped items.
•Choose the concentrated or refillable form of products like
juices and cleaning products.
•Use a basket, backpack, box or reusable shopping bag
instead of plastic bags. Keep them handy in the boot of
your car.
4. REUSE
•Reuse your plastic bags and look for products that
can be reused many times
•Choose durable and reusable items rather than
disposable ones
•Carry your own water bottle or reuse water bottles.
5. RECYCLE
•A good recycler both ensures they recycle goods and also considers
what they buy and whether the products have recycling capabilities.
•Buy products made from recycled materials or with recyclable or
reusable packaging. Plastic packaging that is marked code 1, 2 or 3 is
commonly recycled in most municipalities; several councils now
also accept codes 4-7 (check with your local council )
•Avoid packaging made of more than one material that can't be
separated or put in your waste recycling bin, e.g. plastic laminate on
paper.
6. The National Mission for a
Green India
•The National Mission for a Green India is one of the eight Missions
under the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC).
•The Mission recognizes that climate change phenomena will seriously
affect and alter the distribution, type and quality of natural resources of
the country and the associated livelihoods of the people.
• GIM acknowledges the influences that the forestry sector has on
environmental amelioration through climate mitigation, food security,
water security, biodiversity conservation and livelihood security of forest
