    Explanation
    Paper is a material that is recyclable because it can be processed and turned into new paper products. Recycling paper helps to conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, and save energy. It involves collecting used paper, breaking it down into fibers, and then reusing those fibers to create new paper. This process can be repeated multiple times, making paper a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice.

      Throw things away.

    Correct Answer
    B. Try to find new ways to use something again.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Try to find new ways to use something again." Reusing refers to the act of finding alternative uses for an item instead of discarding it. Instead of throwing things away or buying more, reusing encourages individuals to be resourceful and creative by repurposing items to extend their lifespan. This practice helps reduce waste and promotes sustainability by minimizing the consumption of new resources.

    Correct Answer
    A. Landfill
    Explanation
    When we throw things away, our garbage goes to a landfill. A landfill is a designated area where waste is disposed of by burying it in the ground. This is a common method of waste management, where the garbage is compacted and covered with layers of soil to minimize its impact on the environment. Landfills are carefully engineered to prevent contamination of soil and water sources, and they are regularly monitored to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
