3. INSTEAD OF THROWING THINGS AWAY, FIND A WAY
TO REUSE THEM
◦ Bring cloth sacs to the store with you, instead of taking
home new paper or plastic bags. These sacs can be
used over and over again!
◦ Don’t throw out clothes, toys, furniture, and other items
that you don’t want anymore, because somebody
else can probably use them. You can take them to
donation centers, such as the salvation army, that
collects items and gives it to people in need.
◦ Use silverware and dishes instead of disposable plastic
utensils and plates.

reduce the environmental damage caused by cars

newspapers and articles are on the internet, so they
can be read online, instead of being bought.

used

your teeth

MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO CREATE NEW PRODUCTS OUT
OF THE MATERIALS FROM THE OLD ONES.
◦ Everyday items that can be recycles are: paper
bags, soda cans, milk cartons, glass ware, etc..
◦ In some states like Michigan, you receive 10 cents for
every soda cans and glass bottles you recycle. So why
wouldn’t you want to recycle? 5 cans and you got
yourself a gumball!
◦ Recycle bins are a great way to start recycle. Just
collect recyclable items in it for a week and leave it
outside your house, and a truck will come collect the
items regularly.
