The document discusses ways to save the environment through reducing waste using the 3 R's - reduce, reuse, recycle. It provides tips for reducing packaging and waste, recycling common items like paper, plastic and glass, and reusing products through repair or sharing. Reducing water and energy usage through small changes at home is recommended, such as turning off taps when not in use, taking shorter showers, and only running full loads of laundry and dishes. Public awareness and proper disposal of waste can help curb plastic usage and damage to the environment. Restoring ecosystems, encouraging sustainable living, and establishing protected areas are also discussed as ways to help save rainforests and the planet.

5. WHY SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT

6. 3 R’S
 The most environmental concern is WASTE
 Consumers are recommended to follow 3R
 Reduce
 Recycle
 Reuse
 Waste management practices, such as reducing,
reusing, recycling and composting, divert materials

7. WHAT CAN WE DO
 Reduce the amount of waste
 Recycle items into new products
through a manufacturing process
 Reuse the product in a different way

8. REDUCE
Packaging
 Compare product packaging
 Buy loose items
 Buy economy sizes
 Use concentrated product
 Buy in bulk

9. TOXICITY
 Use least amount necessary
 Use non-hazardous alternatives
 Follow use and disposal directions
 Find a hazardous waste collection
site

10. RECYCLE
WHAT WHERE
 Paper Curbside Collection
 Drop-off Centers
 Buy Back Centers
 Glass
 Aluminum
 Plastic

11. DID YOU KNOW THAT
 1 recycled tin can would save enough energy to
power a television for 3 hours
 1 recycled glass bottle would save enough
energy to power a computer for 25 minutes
 1 recycled plastic bottle would save enough
energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for 3 hours
 70% less energy is required to recycle paper
compared with making it from raw materials

12. REUSE
 Consider reusable products.
 Maintain and repair durable products.
 Reuse bags, containers, and other items.
 Borrow, rent, or share items.
 Sell or donate goods instead of throwing
them out.

13. OUR DIRECT CONTRIBUTE TO SAVE
NATURE
 By switching of lights when not required
 By using cloth/jute bags instead of plastic
bags
 Using both sides of paper
 Buying materials in bulk/without packing
 By growing plants
 By being vegetarian also you save energy

14. Daily conservation in a family
 Turn off tap while cleaning your
teeth, shaving or washing your
face. The waste leads to 9 liters a
minute by just letting the water
pour down the sink.

15.  Take a short shower rather
than a bath could save you up
to 400 liters a week. If you
do have baths, just half fill
them.

16.  Only use the washing machine and the dishwasher
when you can put on a full load. It wastes both
water and energy to run only a half full machine.

17. Daily conservation in a family
 Usea broom and bucket of
water for washing down the
patio rather than a steady
flow of water from the hose.

18. Use a sponge and bucket of
water to clean your car or if you
use the hose, ensure you use a
shut off nozzle so the water is
not constantly running.

19. Fix any dripping tap, you might
waste 90 liters a week.

20. OUR RESPONSIBILITY
 It's impossible to eliminate most plastic from daily life,
but it's prudent for our health and that of our
environment to curb the use of some.
 Overall reduction in plastic usage, proper management
for disposal
and public awareness would bring a great difference in
present situation.
Separate . . Store. . and hand over for proper recycling
or disposal.

24. Teach others about the importance
of the environment and how they
can help save rainforests.

25. Restore damaged ecosystems by
planting trees on land where
forests have been cut down.

26. Encourage people to live in a
way that doesn't hurt the
environment.

27. Establish parks
to protect
rainforests and
.
wildlife.

28. Support companies
that operate in ways
that minimize
damage to the
environment.
