Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle By Marichel Robinson Science teacher

When you reuse something, you use it again. Think before you throw away a box or a toy. Can you use the box in a different way? Could someone play with the toy?

Another way to use something is to recycle. Plastic can be recycled. It can be melted and made into new things. Plastic bottles might become a new chair!
