Reduce and Reuse

We've all heard of the 3Rs -- reduce, reuse, recycle. The 3Rs is not just a catchy slogan, it tells us the order we should use when managing our waste. We want to reduce first, reuse second, and recycle third, and then disposal, landfill, comes last.

Tips to reduce and reuse your waste

  • Buy products with less packaging.
  • Grow your own! 
  • Make your own snacks. Granola bars, fruit rollups, apple sauce and cheese crackers are all great items that can easily be made at home and involve your child while costing a fraction of what it would to buy them in store.
  • Prep ahead of time to help save on last minute convenience purchases. 
  • Don't be afraid to eat the peels! Many fruit and vegetable peels contain fiber, vitamins and antioxidants. 
  • Bee's Wrap is a great alternative to sandwich bags and plastic wrap.
  • Buy products in bulk.
  • Buy long-lasting products.
