- Refuse to buy products that can harm you and the environment, say No to single-use plastic carry bags.
- Reduce the usage of resources like electricity, water, fuel etc.
- Reuse: use things again and again.
- Repurpose: when a product can no more be used for the original purpose, think carefully and use it for some other useful purpose.
