answer to each of the questions followed. (5 points)
If you buy things that can be used over and over instead of buying disposable items that are used once
and then thrown away, you will save precious natural resources. You’ll also save energy used to make them,
and you’ll reduce the amount of landfill space we need when they are thrown away. Those same savings happen
you buy things that will last instead of breaking right away. Well-made items may cost a little more to begin with,
but they are usually worth the money because they last for a long time, and you don’t have to replace them.

When your family goes shopping, think about taking bags with you. Only about seven hundred paper
bags can be made from one 15-year-old tree. A large grocery store can use that many bags before lunch! Plastic
bags start out as either oil or natural gas. Oil and natural gases are non-renewable resources. This means they
can’t be reused, and when they are all gone, they are gone forever. And throw-away bags add a lot of pollution
to the environment. If plastic and paper bags are used once and go to landfills, they stay there for hundreds of
years. Some stores offer discounts for people who use their own bags. For every bag reused, they give money
back – usually about five cents for each bag. With your parents, pick a spot in your house to store bags that you
get from the grocery store. These bags can be used to carry things to friends’ houses or for trash linings.
