3 Ways to Help the Environment
Recycling: the process of sorting, collecting, and processing materials which would otherwise be thrown away and turning them into new products. Reduce: using less of something, such as water or electricity, in order to conserve resources and decrease the negative impact on the environment. Reuse: finding new uses for products or materials instead of throwing them away and buying new ones.
Concepts:
Paper bags can be reused up to 5 times before they need to be recycled. Every hour, the sun provides enough energy to power the entire world for a year. 7% of global C02 emissions are caused by humans eating meat.
