As is taught in schools, we first reduce, then reuse and only then recycle, in that order.
Here we are already giving emphasis to reuse, but it is better than just recycling.
Had a teacher come up with Repair to add to those. You could see the pride on her face the day she brought it up, as if she’d unearthed the secret that would solve global waste.
A lot of returned items are simply destroyed. Or in the best case resold. So instead of returning you could Resell them, but that's basically the same as Reuse.
