Reuse Helps Achieve Real Savings

摘要

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rethink. Can you guess the missing link? It's you. Only you can close the loop by choosing products made of recycled materials. Better still, reuse materials―it avoids considerable expenses. And choose to purchase reusable products rather than throwaway goods. Before going further, we need to define "embodied energy." The embodied energy in an item is the amount of energy required to produce it. Reuse―unlike recycling―preserves a significant amount of embodied energy.
