Reduce, reuse, recycle
Reduce means using less — turning off the tap, or taking only the paper you need. Reuse means using something again, like a cloth bag or a jar for pencils. Recycle means sending paper, plastic, glass and cans to be made into new things.
Why litter matters
Litter doesn’t disappear. Wind and rain carry it into rivers and the sea, where turtles, birds and fish can mistake it for food or get tangled in it. Plastic can last for hundreds of years.
