Answer 1

What exactly is waste? Waste is anything discarded, rejected, or otherwise released into the environment in a manner that could have an impact on that environment. How can we help? We can help by practising the three R's of waste management: reduce, reuse and recycle. It has been estimated that every ton of recycled paper saves 17 trees, 7000 gallons of water, 4100 kilowatt hour of energy and three cubic yards of Landfill space. How does reduce and reuse help? Reducing consumption is decreasing waste whereas the reuse of products such as recyclable plastics prevents the need for excess production of these exact same plastics. Hence, the emission released from factories is lessened. Recycled products also take less energy to produce.
