Reduce: Be mindful of how much trash you generate. For example, products like wrapping paper or paper plates can be completely omitted.
Reuse: Use your trash again! For example, rinse off a plastic ustensil after using it and you can use it a second time. If you do this every time, you effectively halve how many plastic utensils you generate.
Recycle: And, finally, what we will cover this section of the website.
