      reusable bottle – recycling is better than just throwing stuff away but it still has problems, there is a limited amount of times plastic can be recycled before it is no longer usable.

      reusable bottles are better, as you save energy in recycling the material.

      The three R’s of sustainable living in the order are:
      Reduce– reduce your consumption and buy minimalistic
      Reuse– if you have bought some things, try to reuse and repurpose it as much as possible
      recycle– is by any chance you have to throw it out, make sure that that material can be recycled.

      The reusable bottle is better because we still need to use a little bit of energy to recycle the plastic bottle.
