MATTER PART 3 OR
THE THREE R’s
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE?
You know that when we buy manufactured
materials, we produce lots of waste.
We also take many natural resources to make these
manufactured materials.These natural resources will eventually
run out!
So that is so important to follow three simple rules…
What can we do to REDUCE?
1. Buy products with no or little
packaging.
2. Put the packaging in the correct
recycling bin
What can we do to REUSE?
Reuse means to use materials again and again. We can reuse:
What can we do to RECYCLE?
Recycle means to make something new from
something we have used.
We can recycle paper and cardboard, so we don’t have to cut too many trees.
We can also recycle tyres. This way, we won’t cut out too many trees.
We can recycle glass bottles to make new ones.
We can recycle electrical appliances, cars, metals, etc. so we won’t need to waste more natural materials.
Remember not to throw plastic bags
to the seas or oceans. They look
like jellyfish and plastic is really
dangerous for me!
