Question

Being a responsible citizen, we have to develop habits that are environment friendly. What is the 4R principle we all should follow?

• A. Reduce, reuse, recycle, and recover
• B. Reduce, rethink, refine, and recover
• C. Refine, reuse, reduce, and respond
• D. Reuse, refine, recycle, and recover

Answer 1

The correct option is A Reduce, reuse, recycle, and recover

$\bullet$ Reduction of use of plastics reduces the generation of non eco-friendly waste, in the first place.

$\bullet$ Reusing the same product further reduces the accumulation of waste. For example, your school books can be reused by someone else, after you get promoted to the next grade.

$\bullet$ Recycling reduces the amount of raw materials needed for any industry. For example, recycling paper can reduce the amount of wood needed. Thus, it will reduce deforestation.

$\bullet$ Recover refer to the conversion of leftover waste into other resources such as electricity, compost, etc through thermal and biological processes.
