Han- douts on how to reduce, including one dealing with junk mail. THE 3 R'S DEFINED 1. REDUCTION: Buy only what you need. Reject poor quality, disposable, and excessively packaged items. Rent or share large items that you use only occasionally. 2. REUSE: Make efforts to find another use for whatever you can! Repair broken things rather than just throwing them out. Pass on to friends, neighbours, or charitable groups things that you don't want anymore. Refill your own containers at bulk stores and buy drinks in returnable, refillable bottles. 3. RECYCLING: Recycle what you have not been able to Reduce or Reuse. Use your Blue Box or local drop-off depot for food and beverage bottles and cans, newspapers, and plastic pop bot- tles (place these with tins at depot locations).

JUNK MAIL It's quite a dilemma! There doesn't appear to be any way of eliminating it entirely, but there are a few suggestions. Get a copy of the handout at the library PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 20, 1990 -- 19 Activities planned for Recycling Week display, and here are a few addi- tional ideas. Before opening junk mail envelopes, write on the out- side 'Not Accepted - Return to Sender." The sender will be oblig- ed to pay for the postage. Or make use of the free envelopes we all receive with these mailings by putting a sticker over the un- wanted address.
