Question
Mention one way in which we can reuse waste.
Answer in Brief
Solution
- Composting: food waste and yard garbage produce nutrient-rich soil that can be utilized for farming and gardening.
- Upcycling: Upcycling creates new, higher-value "products" from waste materials. Separated garbage is given to skilled craftspeople who use it to create valuable items and earn a living.
- Repurposing: Repurposing involves placing waste materials to use for purposes other than those for which they were designed. For example, plastic bottles can be used as planting or bird feeders.
- Donating: Things still in good shape can be given to charitable organizations or charity stores, where they can be sold or given to those in need.
