The+3Rs-MacKenzie+and+Harriette

=The 3 Rs= The 3 Rs stand for Reduce, Recycle and Reuse. Another word that helps the Earth is Compost. Here is what they mean and what we can do at school to help.


 * **//__Reuse__//** means that you reuse items by repairing them, donating them to charity, or selling them. Also, use objects more than once. For instance, we can use water bottles over and over, not just once. We can also use paper more than once, because there are two sides of the paper, not just one.
 * __**//Recycle//**__ means you don't dump things that can be reused in the garbage can. Instead, use it until you can't use it anymore and then drop it in the recycle bin, not the trash can. For instance, when you empty out your school binder, put your paper in the recycling bin. If you don't have one at home, then wait until you find one or bug your parents until they get one. Also, recycle type 1 and 2 plastics. If it's a bottle, look on the bottom of it and you will see the recycling sign along with a number inside the triangle. If its 1 or 2, then recycle it.
 * **//__Reduce__//** means that you don't use so much junk. One thing you can do is purchase durable, long lasting products.
