2. I have a question for you…
Have you ever thought about
where your homework paper
goes when you are finished
with the assignment?
Do you simply throw that paper
away?
9. What does this mean?
We can use the three R’s to help do
our part in making the Earth a cleaner
and healthier environment to live in.

11. Remember…
Just because you throw something away
doesn't mean it has gone.
You have just moved whatever it is you’ve
thrown away!
So put it to good use, recycle it instead!

Editor's Notes
Title Slide
After the question, we would brainstorm answers.
Vocabulary slideEnvironment – all surroundings on EarthNatural Resources – something that is found in nature and can be used by people (examples: light, air, water, plants, and animals)Landfill – where all of our garbage/waste is takenPollution – when the environment has been made dirty by garbage, chemicals, and other things
More VocabularyPollution – when the environment has been made dirty by garbage, chemicals, and other thingsConserve – using less natural resources such, as water and electricity, and materials, such as plastic and paper, and rebuilding the environment by planting new trees, plants, and flowersWaste – materials that have been thrown away
The Three R’sReduce – to make smaller (point out how the arrows are pointing inward)Reuse – to use again in a different way (point out the continuous circle)Recycle – way to reduce the amount of garbage that is thrown away and reuse materials (point out the “Recycle” symbol)
We need to REDUCE the amount of waste in landfills and pollution we leave behind by REUSING the materials we can and RECYCLE the other materials left.(Play YouTube video on the three R’s in the hyperlink)
(Handout for students to use as a reference)This handout tells us what we can recycle and we need to do to get the materials recyclable. There are four categories of materials: Plastic, Glass, Paper, and Cans. All of the materials need to be clean and free of food and food stains with caps and lids off. There some other exceptions that are found on the handout.
I will have the students turn over the “What is Recyclable?” handout and write down the important information found in the PSA so that it may also be used as a reference when needed.
