Examples:  We can try to use fewer napkins or we can use cloth napkins that we can wash instead.  We can use fewer tissues and less toilet paper.  We can use glass plates and cups instead of paper ones. These steps would reduce the amount of trash we throw away. REUSE We can reuse, that means to use something again. Examples:  Instead of throwing something away, we can reuse it for something else. Example: we can wash out a water bottle and use it more than once.  Instead of throwing trash away, we can reuse it for something else.
