The 3 R’s

What Will We Learn Today? We want students to be able to describe ways to conserve and

protect resources by reusing, reducing and recycling.

We will be able to tell the difference between Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

We will learn ways to protect our Earth.

ReduceTo reduce the size, number, or use of something is very important.Each person in the US produces five pounds of trash per day.When we reduce, we use less of something.

Reuse

To reuse means to put into action or service again. Instead of throwing some trash away, people can find new ways to reuse it.

Recycle

Recycling is to convert waste into material. Recycling puts objects through a process that allows them to be used again.
