A Every day, we throw much rubbish. Where does the rubbish go? We bury most of it in a land

fill (垃圾填埋场), but the landfills in many cities in the U.S. are almost filled. Many of the old

What can we do to help?

Follow the three R’s: REUSE, REFUSE, and RECYCLE.

REUSE You don’t need new bags every time you go to the store. Reuse the old ones—and

away. Send them to the recycling center.

( ) 4. “Recycle” means “collect cans, newspapers and plastic bottles and use them again”.

( ) 5. If we follow the three R’s, our environment will be clean and safe.
