Philosophy of the 3R's

The use of technical materials can affect the environment by contaminating and depleting natural resources, but not only them, also many other materials and many consumer habits that we have today harm the environment. To avoid this, the philosophy of the three R`s proposes three actions: 

• Reduce: reduce the consumption of products and energy. There is no better residue than that which is not produced! Examples: reduce water and electricity consumption.

• Recycle: is to recover the materials that are in the discarded products to re-manufacture new products. 

• Reuse: is to give a new utility to a product that we have discarded because it no longer serves us for its original use. 

What can we do to protect the environment? 

• Reduce: Turn off the tap when brushing, showering instead of bathing, avoiding excessive or unnecessary packaging, avoid buying and using "throw and pull" products (such as disposable plastic bags, aluminum foil, etc.), turn off the lights when leaving the room. etc. 

• Recycle: use recycled paper, separate the waste (paper, plastic, organic) and throw it in its corresponding container, recycle oil by taking it to a recycling point. 

• Reuse: use both sides of the sheets of paper, make bracelets with rings of soda cans, use a can of soda as a can for pencils, etc.
