Question

What are the three R's to save the environment? Explain with one example of each. Which fossil fuel is conserved when we save on electricity?

Answer 1

The three R’s that need to be practiced in order to save the environment are:

1. Reduce: Reducing the usage of resources will help to save them for the future. E.g.: reducing usage of electricity by switching off fans and lights when not in use.

2. Recycle: Plastics, paper, and glass can be recycled to make other objects.

3. Reuse: Using things again and again. For example, jam bottles made of glass can be used to store salt, sugar, oil, etc.

If we save electricity, we can save coal which is a type of fossil fuel.
