Recycling, reusing, and reducing waste are important ways to conserve resources and reduce pollution. Recycling supplies raw materials to industry, creates jobs, and stimulates greener technologies. Reusing items through repair, donation, or resale reduces waste without reprocessing. Reducing consumption and choosing durable, less toxic products prevents waste. Small actions like recycling cans and bottles, using reusable dishes, reducing food waste, and choosing efficient appliances can help reduce pollution.
