THE THREE Rs & MOBILE RECYCLING TRUCK

The rule of the three Rs, also known as 3R, is a proposal about the consumption patterns popularized by the environmental organization Greenpeace, which aims to develope responsible habits and general responsible consumption.
Reuse

To reuse is to use the objects more than once. Many items found around the home can be used for different purposes. So before you throw those items away, think about how they can be reused. Below are some suggestions of how to reuse those everyday bits and pieces.

Reusable items:

 
carrier bags and twist ties.



 Jars and pots.



 Old clothes.



 Used wood.


 Scrap paper. 


Reduce:  
 It’s very important to reduce pollution and contamination, because If we stay on this way, we’re going to destroy our world.
 ·         Use cloth bags or boxes for lunches instead of paper bags
 ·         Buy products that come without boxes or excess packaging
 ·         Use linen towel dispensers or hand dryers instead of paper
 ·         Take advantage of libraries, to read books

Recycle:
Recycling is processing used materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from land filling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production. People should use the recycling containers to recycle materials such as plastic bags, tins and cans, bottles, paper and glass.


 

THE  MOBILE RECYCLING TRUCK

 

On Friday the Mobile Recycling Truck "Punt Verd Mòbil Escolar" visited our school.
We were responsible for carrying all our waste to the PVME and we also asked them a few questions about recycling.
