When I went to school, we talked a lot about the “Three Rs” as a way to reduce our impact on the environment. Now, there are a lot of other ‘catchphrases,’ that is, there are a lot of popular terms, in the discussion about the environment and global warming. Still, I think the Three Rs will always be the best place to start.
In this recording, you’ll learn what the Three Rs are, and what those words mean. To help you, here are the Three Rs now:
-
Reduce
-
Reuse
-
Recycle
