I Learned In America A Long Time Ago, The Three R's, The Principle Of Three R's - Reuse, Reduce, Recycle. And As I Say Those Words, There Are So Many Things Individually We Can Do To Reduce - We Don't Need To Consume As Much As We Are Consuming. Reduce. And By Reusing, We Can Reuse A Lot Of Things We Just Throw Into The Dumpsite. And Reduce The Production. The More We Reuse, The More We Can Reduce.
