How can you help in reducing waste?
Creating as little waste as possible is the first rule of waste management, known as REDUCE.
We can help in reducing waste by avoiding food and drinks packed in wrappers or plastic bottles.
Using cloth bags instead of plastic bags is another effective way to minimize waste.
Sharing old toys and books with those who need them helps extend the usefulness of items and reduces waste.
Buying only what we need is important because the more things we buy, the more waste gets created.
Finally, we should use things until they are not usable anymore before discarding them.
Explanation
The chapter introduces REDUCE as the first rule of waste management. It explains that many people avoid packaged products and use cloth bags. The 'Be a part of the Cleanliness Drive' section suggests sharing old toys and books with those who cannot afford them. The more things we buy, the more waste gets created.
