Question

Explain why recycling and reuse programmes are only part of the solution to the long-term sustainability problems of high-throughput economies. Can you think of a practical example of the rest of the solution that you could put into practice at home?

Answer 1

Recycling and reuse are the best current practices for sustainabilty.But this is not easy as it hears.It requires some serious amount of time.The product or material that have to be remade has to find out the raw materials.These raw materials have to extracted from deep down the earth.After they have to molted into the required product which is a heavy task.Then the finished products have to transported for the intended location for sellling.This is a hectic process and can only be considered as a long term solution for sustainability

A best practice that we can initiate ourself is by switching to energy efficient products.While buying computer,accesories or any other electronic equioments,try to buy those which are registered EPEAT.EPEAT are sustainable measure for electronic equipments.This way we can get higher efficiency by lesser damage to our environment
