The document discusses the 3R's of waste management: reduce, reuse, recycle. It provides examples of how to reduce waste by buying only what you need and choosing reusable products. Reusing includes using scrap paper, jars, bags, and wood for other purposes instead of throwing them out. Recycling turns used materials into new products, helping conserve resources and reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
