"Recycling is the process of separating, collecting and remanufacturing or converting used or waste products into new materials. The recycling process involves a series of steps to produce new products"
Healthy Environment = Reduce + Reuse + Recycle
- Reduce: We need to reduce the amount of the earth's resources we use to make products which may not be essential.
- Reuse: We need to adopt the habit of reusing products. Don't just throw an item away, instead, why not see if a friend, relative, or charity can make use of the item.
- Recycle: We need to be able to identify old products which could be made into something new. Is the product recyclable?
