The next time you're looking to make a purchase, accept a free giveaway, or throw away an item, consider the 6 R's...
Rethink - Was this item made sustainably? Will this item last?
Refuse - Do I need this item? Will I use this item? If I only need it once, can I borrow or rent it?
Reduce - Is this item disposable? Could I instead purchase something reusable?
Reuse - Can I find a used version of this item? If I don't need the item anymore, can I sell it or donate it?
Repair - Can my existing item be repaired instead of replaced?
Recycle - If my item can't be reused or repaired, can it be recycled?
