Reduce is the 1st R in Reduce, Reuse, Recycle but it is often overlooked. Recycle better with reducing the amount of materials we are consuming.

Easy examples of reducing include skipping the plastic bag when grocery shopping, not falling for fast fashion trends, and saying no to single-use plastics. How do you practice reducing? Share with us in the comments! Oklahoma Recycling Association - OKRA
