The document discusses the three R's of the environment: reduce, reuse, and recycle. It provides examples of how to reduce waste by buying products with less packaging and printing only what is needed. Reusing involves using items again through reusing paper, donating unused clothes and toys, or having a yard sale. Recycling involves processing old materials into new products, like making new paper from old paper or new aluminum cans from old ones. Practicing the three R's can help the environment.
