Question

The plastic bottles, in which we store food-items like jam or pickle, can be further used for storing things in the kitchen. The above given example belongs to which among the 3 R's in conservation of resources?

• A. Reduce
• B. Reuse
• C. Recycle
• D. Regenerate

Answer 1

The correct option is B Reuse

To conserve natural resources and to save environment, three strategies are followed namely, Reduce, Recycle and Reuse. To reduce is to use less. In recycling process, we collect plastic, paper, glass and metal items and recycle these materials to make required things instead of synthesising or extracting fresh plastic, paper, glass or metal. In the ‘reuse’ strategy, we simply use things again and again. The plastic bottles in which we buy various food-items like jam or pickle can be used for storing things in the kitchen.
