daily green: reduce, reuse, recycle

Most people know the phrase, “Reduce, reuse, and recycle.”

While this phrase is helpful in pointing out three ways to shape a sustainable lifestyle, it’s important to remember that these three actions are not equal. The order of the words is important because it follows the order of the greatest impact.

While recycling is awesome, it does require energy and resources to recycle. Reusing is also a great way to save resources, but it’s ultimately best to try to reduce consumption in the first place.

This is just something to keep in mind as we go about our busy, daily lives.

Until Next Time,

Christine
