You Can't Lose When You Reuse

摘要

Anyone who has paid attention to environmental issues in recent years has probably heard about the Three Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Though society has made the third R a priority in public-service ads, recycling is down. People have lost interest in it, and the costs involved with recycling mean it hasn't produced the profits it was supposed to produce. Along the way to that realization, we forgot something equally important: Reuse. Reuse provides the inspiration to ensure that the things we buy have the longest possible lives before they are ultimately recycled or otherwise disposed of.
