RECYCLE, REUSE, REDUCE

THREE GOOD WAYS YOU CAN ELIMINATE WASTE AND PROTECT YOUR ENVIRONMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Want to help our environment, just be the smart player and practice the 3 R's
Recycle, Reuse, and Reduce



1. RECYCLE: Don't just toss stuff in the trash! Reusable materials can be used and again and made into the same product or even new products. For instance, cans- can even make T-shirts out of them!




Sneak preview! My dad gets mad when someone messes up his work! But I still managed to get 2 cans out :)


















2. REUSE: Always reuse material instead of throwing them away!



I reuse shopping bags all the time :) For instance, for trash.

Tell you the truth! I never knew this was a part of the 3 R's!!
3. REDUCE: A key part of waste "reduction" is "conservation"- use natural resources wisely and in less amounts!



All our house is filled with energy- efficient light bulbs!
The best thing to do is to learn how to use the 3 R's effectively!
