A singular world for our infinite wants needs a little care from every single one of us!?
Let us say we live "with" Earth rather than live "on" Earth!?
It's the distance between on & with, that will make all the difference!?
?
Let us together create stories through the 9 R's of?
Circularity & Sustainability to bring balance between ecology & economy!?
?
The 9 R's are split into 3 stages & 9 levels of lifestyle changes.?
We have an opportunity here to make an instant choice to accept stage 1, practice & continue.?
(PS: Where Recycling has been glorified for a long time now; check the stage & level it is on. The word recycle can have an instigating effect. It makes one binge further on single-use plastic by reducing the guilt. We have to beat ourselves here. It's a self-test!)?
?
Stage 1: Mindful consumption?
(Slow living | Minimalism | Awareness)?
?1. RETHINK?
2. REDUCE?
3. REFUSE?
?
Stage 2: Product Design Extension stage
(DIY/ Borrow/ Swap/ Thrift/ Sharing is Caring)
?4. REUSE?
5. REPAIR?
6. REGIFT?
?
Stage 3: Close the Loop?
(Recovery of Energy & Reintroduction)
?7. RECYCLE?
8. RECOVER?
9. REMANUFACTURE?

Quoting Richard Louv, Author of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder. “We have such a brief opportunity to pass on to our children our love for this Earth, and to tell our stories. These are the moments when the world is made whole. In my children's memories, the adventures we've had together in nature will always exist.”?
