Three R's of Environmental Protection
Reduce - Try to organize your shopping list. This will help minimize the waste of food.
Reuse - Containers, packaging, and refillable bottles can be re-used for various purposes. This helps to save time, money, energy, and resources.
Recycle - The key component of modern waste reduction is recycling, which means making products into new products. Sorting household goods is very important in recycling glass, paper, metal, and plastics.
Safe disposal of toxic materials is extremely important to the environment. Provincial and local sites are available to dispose of potentially harmful materials. These items should never be disposed in garbage dumps or near water sources.
