Think globally Act locally Remember the 3 Rs!

Think globally Act locally Reduce! We’ve all got to try to reduce the amount of rubbish we throw away. We can do that by buying unpackaged goods, like fruit and vegetables, rather than goods which are wrapped and packaged in plastic. The less that's thrown away, the more we help the environment.

Reuse! Think globally Act locally Try to use things as many times as possible before you throw them away. For example, you're given some plastic bags at the supermarket to carry your food home in. Do you use them again? Most people don't. It would be much better for the environment if they did. Your kids have grown out of their old clothes. Don't just put them in the bin - think about giving them to charity. Somebody probably wants them.

Think globally Act locally Recycle! Glass, paper, plastic – they can all be recycled. Recycling cuts down the waste going to landfill sites and also means factories need to produce fewer new bottles and packets and paper. That means there's less pollution going into the atmosphere from the factories. It also leads to fewer trees being cut down to make paper.

Put the verbs in brackets into the passive. Every spring, before the summer season starts, our local beach 1…… (clean) by volunteers. All the rubbish 2….. (pick up) and 3….. (put) into big bags. Later, it 4…….(separate) into things that can 5……(recycle), like glass and paper, and things that have to 6………..(throw) away. Last year, ten large bin bags 7…….(take) to the local recycling centre. I always help with the cleaning. The beach 8…..(make) safer and cleaner for all of us and it’s good for the environment if some of the rubbish 9…..(recycle) too.

Are these statements about people in England true or false? People never forget to turn off lights, because electricity is expensive. Nobody wears fur coats, because it is not cold. People sort their rubbish, because they want to help the environment. People use pooper scoopers and clean up after their dogs. Nobody drops litter, because they like their towns and cities clean. Nobody goes camping, because it’s bad for the environment. There are special factories which recycle materials.
