Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

Hey Peoples And Persons! It's Me-Rox! I know you probably don't want to hear just a bunch of definitions, but that's what you need to understand the blog and the purposes. (Maybe.)

I bet that you have all heard of the saying "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle". And we all know about doing all of that. But how do we Reuse and Reduce?

Reuse - If you grow out of a sweater or a t-shirt, don't just throw it away, give it to a younger relative as a hand-me-down or donate it to a homeless shelter or a thrift store. Clothing is made from plants. And those plants probably don't intend their clothing to be used for a year or so. And we can't be expected to use our clothing longer than that -- we can't help growing.

Reduce - If you really think about it, it's simple. We use the word all the time, we just aren't familiar with it in the phrase. What people mean when they use it is that you shouldn't use too much of things. Like if you keep the water running while you're brushing you're teeth, you should probably turn it off. Or if you keep the lights on in your house when they don't need to be on.

Okay I promise, no more definitions from now on.... Unless they're necessary! Which they hopefully won't be.
