Practical Applications

Reducing Waste and Recycling

Waste Not, Want Not!

Reducing waste and recycling are simple ways to protect the environment every day.

Ways to Reduce Waste

  • Use reusable bags, bottles, and containers.
  • Compost food scraps to return nutrients to the soil.
  • Buy only what you need and avoid single-use items.

How Recycling Helps

Recycling turns old products into new ones, saving resources and energy. It keeps trash out of landfills and reduces pollution.

Getting Involved

Look for recycling programs at school or in your community, and help teach others about the benefits.

Make a Difference

Small changes add up—less waste means a cleaner, greener planet!

Examples

  • Sorting paper, plastic, and metal into separate bins at home or school.

  • Using a lunchbox instead of disposable bags.
