1. MATTER PART 3 OR
THE THREE R’s

2. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO REDUCE,
REUSE AND RECYCLE?
You know that when we
buy manufactured
materials, we produce lots
of waste.

3. We also take many natural
resources to make these
manufactured materials.These
natural resources will eventually
run out!

4. So that is so important to follow three simple rules…

5. What can we do to REDUCE?
1. Buy products
with no or little
packaging.
2. Put the
packaging in
the correct
recycling bin

6. What can we do to REUSE?
Reuse means to use materials again and again. We can reuse:

7. What can we do to RECYCLE?
Recycle means to make
something new from
something we have used.

8. We can recycle paper and cardboard,
so we don’t have to cut too many trees.

9. We can also recycle tyres. This way, we won’t
cut out too many trees.

10. We can recycle glass bottles to
make new ones.

11. We can recycle electrical appliances, cars, metals, etc.
so we won’t need to waste more natural materials.

12. Remember not to
throw plastic bags
to the seas or
oceans. They look
like jellyfish and
plastic is really
dangerous for me!
