Solution

The 3R's rules are: (1) Reduce, (2) Reuse, (3) Recycle.

(1). REDUCE means to reduce the amount of plastic wastage done by humans like they throw plastic objects. It should be reduced as it is harmful to the environment as well as for other creatures involving animals and humans as well.

(2). REUSE means to use the objects again if it is possible. Reusing items will help in reducing as well.

(3). RECYCLE means to recycle the waste and make it capable of using it again in a nice manner.

Therefore, the 3R's should be preferred to save the environment.
