center, where goods can be crushed, broken down, and later turned into
new cans, bottles, and paper.
· By separating plastic bottles, cans, bottles, and more, you're reducing
the amount of trash that goes to the landfill.

 Reduce It! 
For instance, a shorter shower means
you used less water and
less fuel since your house uses fuel
to run the water heater that
warmed up the water. 

Here's a list of other stuff you can reduce: 
Turn off lights, last longer and use less energy,
your mom or dad helps if one breaks. 
Save water when you're brushing your teeth. 
walk or ride your bike instead of riding in a car 
the chargers for your phone and
MP3 player when you're not using them 
computer to "sleep" instead of leaving it
on with the screensaver running.                            


  Deutsche Übersetzung 
the chargers = die Ladegeräte 
the screensaver = der Bildschirmschoner 
less fuel = weniger Kraftstoff

Reuse It! 

Sometimes people call
ours a throwaway society.
 That means that we're a little too willing to
throw away old stuff and buy new stuff.



Translationbox:

throwaway society: Wegwerfgesellschaft
disposable: verfügbar
reusable: wiederverwertbar
Here are some other ways to
reuse the stuff you have:

-Choose reusable travel cups
instead of disposable paper or plastic cups.

-Take your own bags preferably
reusable ones when you go to the grocery store.

-Drink tap water instead
of buying bottled water.

-Get a reusable water bottle
so you can take it with you.

-Organize a swap among your friends.
What can you swap?  
Books, toys, even clothes.
