3R: Reduce, Reuse & Recycle!

Help the world around us! Be more environmentally friendly.

We ALL can help make a difference for the future. Adapt the "3R" policy: Reduce, Reuse & Recycle! We can prevent 88% of waste going to landfill by practicing 3R



Please don't take things for granted. Doing little things can make a huge difference for our future. Take action now.

Known facts:
Plastic can take up to 500 years to decompose
It takes 24 trees to make 1 ton of newspaper
Saving one ton of paper through 3R can save 17 trees

Recycled aluminium uses 95% less energy than making from ore
Recycled glass uses 50% less energy than making from silica
Recycled paper uses 60% less energy than making new


Start now! It'll not only save money & energy, but can make you a good citizen and show that you care about the world!
