Question

arrange the following from least amount of energy used to most energy used. (hint: its also the way you should approach waste to save the most energy!) reduce --> recycle --> reuse recycle --> reuse --> reduce reduce --> reuse --> recycle reuse --> reduce --> recycle

Explanation:

Reducing waste at the source uses the least energy as it prevents the need for further processing. Reusing an item is next - it just involves using it again without major energy - intensive transformation. Recycling requires more energy as it involves collecting, sorting, and processing materials into new products.

Answer:

Reduce --> reuse --> recycle
