Waste reduction involves three R’s resource use (reduce, reuse, and recycle) (8). Myers suggest that reduction “involves consuming less” (8). This involves the process of determining wants versus needs for each individual (8). If an individual can do without it, it is probably not a necessity or a basic human need. It is also important to evaluate spending habits to determine if one is buying things they do not need. Although it is not always easy, being aware of what is consumed is a good start to reducing solid waste
