Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
There are 3 ways to make the Earth a greener place: Reduce, reuse and recycle.
When people reduce, it means they are using less of something. This means less
waste. Turning off the water when we brush our teeth is a way of reducing. We
don't waste water by doing this. Reusing is to use the things we already have
again. We can use re-usable shopping bags made of cloth instead of plastic bags
when we go to a supermarket. Using both sides of the paper is also a way of
reusing.
Finally, we can recycle. Recycling is to create new materials from old ones.
Materials like
paper, plastic and metal can be recycled. You can recycle the things like
newspapers, soda cans, plastic containers and magazines.
If we want to live in a green and clean world, we must take care of our world.
