3Rs - Reduce, Reuse & Recycle - what's your thoughts on it?

Good question!!
I have also setup a 3Rs system this year, and they are:

A) reduce buying
B) replace bad with good
C) resell unnecessary items

In fact, just to cite an example, I have way more than enough clothes that I might not need to buy for a very long time. so how I manage my clothes now is for every three pieces I donate / throw because worn out, I can at most buy 1 piece to replace it.

To throw more fun into the mix, I can only use what I "earned" from selling items on carousel (mostly hobby items) for my clothing budget. I only aim to buy one set each year for CNY (and supplement with those still in original packaging).

After reading and learning a bit, recycling is only a small solution to a big problem, and we don't really have high recycling rates in Singapore - what we place in the blue bin could easily be contaminated by trash and not going to recycling.

The real long term solution to environmental problems is really buying what you need, and making it last / worth over its life.

I think reducing is the most important, and actionable thing to work on as a consumer. What do you guys think about corporate responsibilities of these e-commerce platforms? Is it right to keep trying to use these methods to hook people to buy more?
