Enviroman: Everyone knows the familiar symbol for recycle - 3 arrows. But the 3R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) is in reducing order of desirability. For example, recycling greeting cards may be a good practice, but recycling uses lots of water, chemicals and energy, produces secondary pollution like ink in the wastewater, etc.. Directly reusing greeting card is more desirable (see Envirocard). So you see Enviroman clothing himself with a single arrow to represent direct REUSE. Maybe that sinle arror is a better symbol to convey the message than the now wll known 3 arrows symbol. BTW you are free to use the graphic of Enviroman. A link back to us will be highly appreciated.
