Why We Should Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
My school has been studying the 3 R's(Reuse,Reduce,Recycle.) for the last 4 weeks and today I'm going to tell you about the 3 R's.
Reuse:
Reusing is a very important part of the 3 R's,It means to take old items,that seem useless,and turn them in to very use full items.For example,a old jar could be made into a cookie cutter,a cup,a flowering pot,or you could paint it and use it as a jar again.There are endless possibilities to reusing!
Reduce:
Reduce is another word for conserve.It means to use less of something.For example,if we conserve our TV time,on and off of lights and fans,and even just ride a bike sometimes instead of a car not only will your bill go down,but you'll be helping the earth.Here are some ways to reduce,or conserve,energy.
1-In stead of using the air conditioner constantly all day long,try opening the windows for a little while or turn on a small fan.
2-Try to get outside at least once a day and spend less time away from the TV,or Boob tube as I prefer to call it,and have fun enjoying nature.
3-Ride a bike to school or work if its not too far,because cars make a gas called carbon dioxide which blocks the inner atmosphere from the outer atmosphere,which means heat on our planet can't escape into space.This process is called Global Warming.
Am I confusing you?
Recycle:
Recycling objects is probably the most important R there is.It means instead of throwing useless garbage away you can recycle it into new things.For example,you can recycle old plastic from a toy into a plastic cup,a piece of wood into a chair,even a piece of leather into a shirt!Well,I don't know about you but I wouldn't wanna drink out of a cup that's made of a baby toy,who knows where it could have been!!!
Well,that basically wraps up this blog post,and remember,the earth is our planet,why ruin it when we can help it?Together,I'm 100% sure we could make our world a better place.The End.
