In the context of natural resources, the following terms refer to
Reduce This means to use a material/commodity in lesser quatity. Recycle Means a material that is used once, is collected and sent back to a manufacturer so that they can make some other useful materials from it.
Recuse It means using a thing over and over again instead of throwimg it away. This is actually even better than recycling because the process of recycling uses some energy. From among the materials we use in daily life, we can reduce electricity use by switching off unnecessary lights and fans and save water by repairing leaky taps. Recycle use paper, plastic bottles, metal objects can be recycled. Reuse The plastic bottles in which we buy various food-items like jam or pickle can be reused for storing things in kitchen, the used envelopes can be reused to store things, reversed inside out to be used again.
