The document discusses the 3R approach - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - for achieving a more sustainable lifestyle and environment. It outlines ways to reduce waste in various areas of life, how to reuse items instead of throwing them out, and what can and cannot be recycled. Composting kitchen waste at home is presented as an effective way to reuse biodegradable materials and reduce waste. The key is properly segregating wet and dry waste so it can be processed through composting, recycling, or reuse to minimize waste and pollution.
