The following tips will help you understand just how easy it is to apply the '3R' principle. All you have to do is think ahead.

Reduce
• Take no more new bank notes and lai-see packets than necessary.
• Bring your own bags to reduce consumption of plastic shopping bags.
• Adopt simple packaging and minimize gift wrapping to avoid wastage of resources.
• Choose more durable products. Think twice before shopping to avoid purchasing unnecessary items and cause wastage.
• Send electronic greeting messages instead of paper greeting cards as the former can deliver the same message with less resource.
• Use reusable tableware during gatherings and parties and avoid excessive food.

Reuse
• Reuse lai-see packets and bank notes for lai-see.
• Store holiday decorations, such as plastic Christmas trees and ornaments for reuse in the following year. Good quality decorations could be reused many times.
• Donate unwanted gifts to needies through charitable organizations.

Recycle
• Separate all recyclable materials, such as metals, plastics, waste paper and other recyclables from waste stream and put them in recycling bins to facilitate recycling.

thumbs up Good for you, aiyana. It's inspiring to see a person like yourself, from a continent that isn't considered to be a world leader on the environmental front, posting material that is so relevant for everyone.

The pollution, both industrial and domestic, that I observed while in India was devastating.

But awareness and participation from people like yourself can only lead to progress and improvement on this issue
