answer to each of the questions.

In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,

recycling is big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to

the environment. Recycling means finding was to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling

movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".

The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes

and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:

usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that

are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils đồ dùng, dụng cụ. Another way to reduce waste is to

buy high-quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy

new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example. if a customer buys a high-quality

appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way. if

a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the

manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.

The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After

customers. empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the

bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In

some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage

dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.

The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and

used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one

aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum

(for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
