3rd Recycling PowerPoint

This document discusses ways for students to conserve and protect resources through reducing, reusing, and recycling. It defines the three R's and provides examples of how to implement each one. Reducing means using less of something by actions like using both sides of paper or taking shorter showers. Reusing involves finding new purposes for items that would otherwise be trash, like using a pizza box as an art easel. Recycling puts objects through a process to reuse their materials, and it saves energy and landfill space compared to throwing items away. The document encourages recycling common items like cans, paper, plastic and glass.
