Reduce means to use materials in lesser quantity, e.g. electricity and water. Recycle means a material that is used once is collected and sent back to a manufacturer so that they can make some other useful material from it, e.g. plastic cups and buckets, glass tumbler, paper. Reuse means using a thing over and over again instead of throwing it away, e.g. used envelopes, plastic bottles of jam or pickle.
