I suppose this can also go under metatopics
In order to avoid the edit wars, I'll leave this here. But I moved it from materials because some aspects of the 4Rs extend beyond materials. I don't consider energy a "material", and it's quite a stretch for me to consider "water" or even "air" as a material, and yet "reduce" and "reuse" of water make sense, and "rethink" of all of these make sense.
As a compromise, I'll also put it under the Meta concepts category. --CurtB 21:24, 18 December 2006 (PST)
- Hi Curt, I think traditionally the 4R's, as a package, have been applied more to material waste management, especially because of the "Recycling" component as opposed to water conservation, water reuse and energy conservation. But multiple categorization is definitely in our general plan. --Lonny 22:50, 18 December 2006 (PST)
