Population explosion has lead to an exponential increase in the demand for various resources all over the world. The demand is rapidly multiplying but the source with which this is to be met remain primarily limited. As such there is a state of inequilibrium. This calls for efficient waste management techniques. The three Rs are a portion of the pyramid of waste hierarchy. In this write up, we focus on understanding 3R and Computer Repair(as they are related).
Population explosion has lead to an exponential increase in the demand for various resources all over the world. The demand is rapidly multiplying but the source with which this is to be met remain primarily limited. As such there is a state of inequilibrium. This calls for efficient waste management techniques. The three Rs are a portion of the pyramid of waste hierarchy. In this write up, we focus on understanding 3R and Computer Repair(as they are related). The Waste hierarchy pyramid (in decreasing order of desirability ) is Prevent, Minimise, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover, Dispose. Reduce is the first and the most preferred of the three Rs. It includes the term Re-think. To put it in simple words, reduce means to be wary of resource spending. We have to reduce our needs and hence the use of resources. Re think means thinking twice before using. It is considered by many scholars to be the fourth R. Daily life manifestations of this principle include switching off energy consuming devices after use, fixing dripping taps and using own waste of the garden to fertilize it etc. Next in the line is reuse. It includes repair. It can be aptly described as using already used articles over again. People do not usually attach much importance to this principle. Tossing away and then forgetting is way easier than taking the care to analyze if it has future use potential. Next in the three Rs is reuse. It also includes repair. Reuse can be described as use of already used articles once again. We do not attach significant importance to this R. Tossing away & then forgetting about a thing is infinitely easier than taking the pains to analyze and determine if it has any use potential. Some citations of reuse are - reversing the gluing of a used paper envelope to use it again, using photo copied paper (copied from one side) from the other vacant side and passing or selling clothes which you have discarded Recycling is the last out of the three Rs. Waste must never be recycled blindly and carelessly. Reuse must be considered at first because recycling will consume energy. Plastic bottles, glass bottles & old newspapers are the most recycled substance. The prime distinction between recycle & reuse is that recycling makes an object of any use after you expend some energy on it. Computer repair is a part of reusing and more aptly repairing. Computer parts are the most mismanaged waste materials. What do you do with a keyboard after it begins slurring letters? You just throw it out. The same end is met by modems, computer mice, UPS (es) etc. Only in few cases the local tech. Man is called or other commercially available services sought. Individuals especially do not pay any heed to repairs. Offices of Companies engage computer repair services to cut costs. The solutions can be simple(like if your key board goes bad, turning it over and tapping it a few times will unstick the keys from the bases) or a little more complex (like virus removal) but calling help seems to involve a lot of time. So, we just buy it new while coming back from work. Computer repair saves you on a lot of money too. Reckless replacement of repairable computer parts is harmful to the economy besides causing the hyped environmental damage. The discarded parts are not even recycled properly. It is high time that Three R and computer repair establish firm ground in our modern lifestyles About the Author: Canadian home-computer company provides technical solutions such as: laptop repair, onsite computer repair Montreal, Totonto, Hamilton, Niagara and computer repair Ottawa.
