最近，很多地方都開始大力宣傳垃圾分類和垃圾減量。歸入“可循環(huán)”那一類的垃圾經(jīng)過處理后，可以發(fā)揮別的功效?？墒牵阒绬?？處理這些可循環(huán)物質(zhì)也是要消耗能源、并產(chǎn)生垃圾的。所以，更加環(huán)保的方式是盡量減少使用會產(chǎn)生垃圾的物品。
Precycling is the practice of reducing waste by attempting to avoid bringing into the home, business items which will generate waste.
Precycling（“預(yù)循環(huán)”或“提前循環(huán)”）指通過避免購入會產(chǎn)生垃圾的家庭或商業(yè)物品來減少垃圾數(shù)量的行為。
The original three-pronged push for trash management is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle." Precycling emphasizes "reducing and reusing", while harnessing the momentum and popularity of the term "recycle."
垃圾管理最初的三個(gè)方針是“減量、再利用、再循環(huán)”。這里的預(yù)循環(huán)強(qiáng)調(diào)的就是“減量和再利用”，稱為precycling其實(shí)是為了借助recycle（再循環(huán)）的熱度和普及程度。
Precycling includes such practices as buying consumables in bulk to reduce packaging, buying consumables in recyclable over non-recyclable packaging, avoiding junk mail, and using electronic media for reading materials, especially throwaway items such as magazines or newspapers.
“預(yù)循環(huán)”的做法包括：批量購買消費(fèi)品以減少包裝數(shù)量，選擇購買外包裝為可循環(huán)物質(zhì)的消費(fèi)品，避免垃圾信件，用電子媒體閱讀，此項(xiàng)尤其適用于雜志、報(bào)紙等看完就扔的閱讀載體。
One way to participate in precycling is to carry a "precycling kit". Include a non-disposable container, silverware set, a cloth napkin or handkerchief, and a thermos or water-bottle within a cloth bag that can double as a grocery/shopping bag.
參與“預(yù)循環(huán)”的另一個(gè)方式就是隨身攜帶一個(gè)“預(yù)循環(huán)箱”。里面有非一次性的容器，銀制餐具，布質(zhì)餐巾或手帕，以及裝有保溫杯或水杯的布袋。這個(gè)布袋打開后還能當(dāng)購物袋用。
