The 4R strategy aims at reducing the depletion of resources and includes reduce, reuse, regenerate or recharge, and research. Opting for public transport over private vehicles is a way to reduce wastage of resources such as petrol. Carrying our own bag to the grocery store is a method to reuse, which would help us reduce the use of plastics. Rainwater harvesting is a method that regenerates or recharges the water levels by saving rainwater.
