Sure you are probably familiar with the "3 Rs;"
reduce,
reuse,
recycle. Did you know that there are
actually 8? Me neither. Here are the five that I was missing.
- Respect the earth. Look at your life like a camping trip and leave the earth cleaner than how you found it.
- Responsibility for protecting the earth and its resources fall onto us.
- Rethink the way that you have always been doing things and change for the better.
- Refuse your wants and focus on your needs. New technology and fashion turn us into major consumers. Learn how to settle for last year's model.
- Repair before buying new. Though it may be more expensive to pay someone to repair your electronics, the internet is full of "how to" sites that can direct you in how to make simple fixes. This will give you a great amount of satisfaction and save the world.
