FF5 UNIT5 Reuse and Recycle

Read the paragraph and do the tasks from 1 to 6.

There are 3 ways to make the Earth a greener place: Reduce, reuse and recycle. When people reduce, it means they are using less of something. This means less waste. Turning off the water when we brush our teeth is a way of reducing. We don’t waste water by doing this. Reusing is to use the things we already have again. We can use re-usable shopping bags made of cloth instead of plastic bags when we go to a supermarket. Using both sides of the paper is also a way of reusing.

Finally, we can recycle. Recycling is to create new materials from old ones. Materials like paper, plastic and metal can be recycled. You can recycle the things like newspapers, soda cans, plastic containers and magazines.

If we want to live in a green and clean world, we must take care of our world!
