Waste minimization

Waste minimization means working to reduce the amount of waste you make. When you throw away something, it usually goes to the trash and makes a mess. Instead of throwing away things, you can try to find a way to use them again. For example, if you have an empty cardboard box, you can find a way to turn it into a toy instead of throwing it away. You can also try to buy things that you can use more than once like a metal water bottle instead of buying plastic water bottles every time you’re thirsty. When you’re finished with clothes or toys, you can donate them so someone else can use them instead of throwing away. If we all work together to reduce the amount of waste we make, it can help make our world a cleaner and better place!
