BR 2-16 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

    I read "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle", so I will tell you about story of the book. Everyday people make a lot of rubbish. Reduce- cut back on how much we use. Reuse- use things many times. Recycle- make things into something else that can be used again. If everyone tried to reduce, reuse and recycle, we could: cut down on waste, save energy, protect natural resources and cut a lot of pollution. The first thing we can do to cut waste and help the environment is to reduce what we use. When we go shopping, we can take our own shopping bags or baskets. When we buy something, we can look for things that don't have a lot of packaging. The second thing we can do to cut waste and help the environment is to use things that don't have to be thrown away after one use. we reuse things by: refilling water bottles, using both sides of paper when printing, using shopping baskets and giving other people clothes that we no longer want. The third thing we can do to cut waste and help the environment is to recycle. There are many that can be recycle: food, paper, metals, glass and plastic. A lot of recycling can be done at home. We can put our left-over food into the compost bin, not the rubbish bin. Over time, the left-over food will turn into compost that can be used in the garden. It's easy to reduce, reuse and recycle! By reducing, reusing and recycling, we can cut down on rubbish and help our environment.
