Worth bearing in mind that "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" was meant to be in that order. But the first two are a threat to capitalism so the messaging that gets promoted to us on TV, the radio, through billboards, and on posters heavily emphasizes "Recycle" because recycle even gives a manufacturer the opportunity to sell you a product that may have actually been cheaper for them to manufacture from non-virgin materials and a slight markup.
But how we REALLY slow climate change is by reducing our consumption and start acting as daily stewards of the environments we exist in, reusing the goods that we have already have, including repairing them, and recycling a good as a last resort when no other option is available to us.
