There are various ways in which you can make your surrounding more and more Eco-friendly. One of them includes the practice of the 3Rs – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. The very first step towards environment-friendly habits must involve limiting things that harm the Nature. Secondly, you need to identify the advantages of re-usability in controlling waste creation. And last but not the least; you need to learn smart ways to recycle things you use in your daily life.
