Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce the amount of unnecessary consumption; Reuse, whenever possible, what we have already purchased; Recycle, separating our Plastic, Glass, Metal and Paper products and simply Reject over-packaged products or those manufactured by irresponsible corporations. We must take responsibility for, protect and nurture the surrounding environment.
