Promote a Sustainable Society to Ensure a Rich Future
Recyclable If Sorted…Trash If Mixed

To keep the spirit of mottainai (don’t be wasteful) in mind and develop a truly sustainable society, we need to promote these “3R” activities: (1) reduce the amount of waste at the source; (2) reuse items whenever possible; and (3) sort and recycle items as recyclable resources. Work on these 3Rs in your daily life!

● Reduce Waste—Minimize It at the Source
• Try not to buy items you don't really need and disposable products
• Do not waste food
• Eat emergency food before the expiration dates and buy the necessary amount

● Reuse Items—Use Items until They Wear Out
• Repair broken items and continue using them
• Give items that you no longer need to people who need them

● Recycle—Sort and Put Out Recyclable Resources
• When you dispose of things you no longer want or need, sort your items according to the rules.
