The three Rs: Reduce! Reuse! Recycle!
There are lots of ways we can look after our planet. Three great ways are 'the three Rs':
Reduce! Reuse! Recycle! We throw away too many things and make too much rubbish. Lots of the things we throw in the bin take thousands of years to go away. Every time you want to throw something in the bin, STOP and THINK about the three Rs. Can you reduce it? Can you reuse it? Can you recycle it?
What to do
In a group of 3 or 4, discuss the following questions:
1. Define what is reduce, reuse and recycle.
2. What is the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling.
3. What can you do to show actions of reduce, reuse and recycle.
4. Design things to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Reduce Reuse Recycle
The definition Reduce means using something less so we make less trash
Reuse means using something again instead of throwing it again
Recycle means using old thing to make new things
The importance So we don't waste more things that can harm the environment

everywhere.
