    Correct Answer
    A. Reduce, reuse and recycle
    Explanation
    The 3 R's of the environment are reduce, reuse, and recycle. This means reducing the amount of waste we produce, reusing items instead of throwing them away, and recycling materials to create new products. By following these practices, we can minimize our impact on the environment, conserve resources, and reduce pollution.

    • Paper

    • Water

    • Chips

    Correct Answer
    A. Paper
    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.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Use less things that produce waste." This means to decrease the amount of items or materials that contribute to waste generation.

    Where does our garbage go when we throw things away?

    • Landfill

    • Lakes

    • A bigger garbage can.

    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.
