The document describes the 3R rule (reduce, reuse, and recycle) for managing waste sustainably. It explains that due to the high volume of trash generated by single-use waste, it is important to implement the 3Rs to reduce waste, give new uses to materials, and recycle what can no longer be reused. Following the order of the 3Rs, it details how to reduce consumption, reuse objects and materials, and recycle items that can no longer be reused.

INTRODUCTION
We have always produced waste as a society, but it is
now, in the consumer society we live in
for years, when the volume of waste has
grown in an uncontrolled and cumulative manner, increased
its toxicity has become a serious problem
environmental. We are immersed in the culture of using and
take, and in the daily trash are the resources that
Soon we won't have.
This household waste goes to landfills, and in
many cases to incinerators. A good part of those
waste, 60% of the volume is made up of packaging and
packaging, mostly single-use, normally
made from non-renewable raw materials, or which
even though they are renewable, they are being exploited at a rate
superior to that of its regeneration
In addition to the above, we must also add that at home,
waste derived from paints, solvents,
insecticides, cleaning products. All this garbage and
toxic waste can be: taken to landfills, but
they occupy a lot of land and contaminate soils and waters;
incinerated, but they emit atmospheric pollutants and
they produce very toxic ashes and slag.
Therefore, the best solution, ultimately, is that we put
in practice the guideline of the three R's, Reduce, Reuse
and Recycle, in this order of importance. Do you know
What exactly does it mean and how can it be implemented?
Reduce
When we talk about reducing, what we are saying is that we
should try to reduce or simplify the consumption of products
direct, that is to say, everything that is bought and consumed, since
this has a direct relation to waste, and at the same time with
our wallet. For example, instead of buying 6 bottles
small ones of a drink, you can get one or two large ones,
having the same amount of product but fewer containers, no
ask for bags in supermarkets unless it's necessary,
reduce paper consumption, etc.
If we reduce consumption, we decrease the impact on the environment.
environment. This R is fully connected to awareness and the
education
The reduction can be made on 2 levels: reduction of consumption
of goods or energy. In fact, currently the production of
energy produces numerous waste (nuclear waste, carbon dioxide
carbon...). The objective would be:
Reduce or eliminate the amount of materials allocated for use
unique (for example, the packaging).
Adapt the devices according to their needs (for example
run washing machines and dishwashers full and not partially loaded.
Reduce energy or resource losses: water, disconnection
of electrical appliances on standby, efficient driving,
disconnect transformer, etc.
Reuse
By saying reuse, we are referring to being able to do again
use things, giving a useful life to packaging or materials
that we use every day and give them as prolonged a use as possible
before the time comes for us to get rid of them
definitely, thus reducing the volume of waste and
reducing the impact in the medium environment.
For example, use the clean side of printed sheets, the paper.
used can be transformed into pulp and create new sheets for
write, paint, or decorate, give new life to glass jars,
the small boxes or jars made of PVC, metal, or plastic, reusing wood
to make your own shelves, paint that old chair, donate
books devices electric clothes furniture etc.
This task is usually the one that receives the least attention and is one of the
most important. It not only helps the environment but also to
the economy at home, develops your imagination and will put a point
original a you life.
Recycle
This is one of the most popular Rs due to the system of
current consumption has preferred to use packaging made of recyclable materials
(plastics and bricks, above all), but not biodegradable. Therefore
The use of personnel and energy is required to subject the
materials to the process necessary for their reuse. This means
that through recycling it is truly reduced
significant the use of new materials, and with it,
new garbage generation, however, it should be remembered that when
recycling consumes a lot of energy and it pollutes when reprocessing the
waste.
Most of the materials we use can be
recycled and used in other applications; materials such as the
glass can be recycled 40 times for example, plastic can be
recycle by heating it until it melts, giving it a new shape.
It is our commitment to recycle as much as possible and reduce the
production of trash new
From ifeel maps we advise you to incorporate the rule of the 3Rs
ecological practices into your life, not only will you feel good by becoming aware of
what you consume to take care of the environment, but also
it will help you reduce expenses and let your imagination take flight by giving it
one new life a lo that you thought to remove.
CONCLUSION
Therefore, the best solution, ultimately, is that we put in
practice the slogan of the three Rs, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle,
in this order of importance.
It is of great relevance that we take into account that our environment
the environment is being affected by our irresponsibility and
unconsciousness, for this reason one must practice thestrategiesthat the rule
of the 3Rs, expose to care and contribute to reduce even if just a little
a little the damage of everything we have done wrong so far.
The three ecological R's (3R) is a rule to take care of the environment.
environment, specifically to reduce the volume of waste or
waste generated. In short, the 3Rs aim to develop
habits of responsible consumption and they raise awareness to throw away less
trash, saving money and being a more responsible consumer, like this
reducing your carbon footprint.
In addition, in the last decade, the topic of the 3Rs (reduce-reuse-recycle
and reducing) has become of utmost importance at the global level,
given the different damages caused to the planet by excessive
pollution, thanks to ourCultureof Use and Throw.
Since it is a fact: 'green is in'fashion. The current
trends, are practical ideas to motivate to carry astyle of
lifemore environmentally friendly and that can be implemented in your home and thus
