Everything comes from Earth. We must take of it.
The three Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle are three ways that we can look after the environment.
We should try to reduce the amount of materials we use and the waste we produce. Buy products with little or no packaging, then put the packaging in the correct recycling bin.
We can reuse many things. For example, we can reuse plastic shopping bags. We can clean packaging such as boxes and jars and use them again. You can use older cousins' clothes.
Recycle means to make something new from something we have used. If we recycle manufactured materials, it means that we can turn them into another material. We can recycle glass, plastic, aluminium and paper and much more.
