explain the terrm \"three Rs\" and how the three Rs relate to sustainability\"

Solution

The three Rs are reduce, recycle and reuse.

Reduce means that one should reduce the amount of waste one produces. Reduce means reduce the amount of energy and resources being used. For example a person can reduce the use of fossil fuels by taking public transport instead of using his car.

Recycle is a process that makes it possible to make new products from old waste. For example paper bags, soda cans, plastic bags (with specific microns) can be recycled.

Reuse means that one should reuse a particular object instead of throwing it away. For example, old newspapers can be reused to make paper grocery bags.

The 3Rs helps in promoting sustainability in the long run. By reducing your use of resources, you will also be reducing pollution and creating resource balance for the future. By reusing and recycling you are doing your bit to make the planet more greener. Recycling of Pet bottles helps is reusing a material which is not bio degradable. Hence it leads to long term sustainability.
