The passage discusses the three R's of reducing waste: reduce, reuse, and recycle. It defines each term and provides examples. Reduce means using less of something, like turning off the water when brushing teeth to reduce water waste. Reuse involves using items again, such as reusable shopping bags instead of plastic bags. Recycling creates new materials from old ones, as with recycling paper, plastic, and metal items like newspapers and cans. Practicing the three R's helps make the Earth greener and cleaner.

Let’s read the passage and circle the correct answer.

REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE

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.
