The 3 R's are a basic methodology that can be applied to almost any activity or purchase. They are hierarchical, with 'reduce' being the most important, followed by 'reuse' and 'recycle'. Recycling has no impact on consumption (of finished products), whereas the first two options do. The 3 R's are applicable to deciding if an item needs to be purchased as well as which item to choose. 6, record 4, English, - three%20R%26rsquo%3Bs

Le principe des 3 R constitue une méthode de base qui peut être appliquée à presque toutes les activités d'acquisition. Les 3 R forment une hiérarchie : la «réduction» est plus importante que la «réutilisation», laquelle est plus importante que le «recyclage». Le recyclage n'a aucun effet sur la consommation (des produits finis), contrairement aux deux premières options. On tient compte des 3 R pour décider s'il faut acheter un article ainsi que pour choisir parmi un certain nombre d'articles. 2, record 5, French, - trois%20R
