The Mistery of the 4Rs
1. The Mistery of the Four R’s
Once upon the time there was a boy named
Jimmy. Jimmy was about your age and he
lived in a rural area in Costa Rica. It turned
out that the principal from Jimmy’s school
decided to enroll his school in a competition
about the “4R”.
Jimmy and his friends wanted to
win the contest, but they did not
have a clue about what did the
“4R” stand for. They decided to
investigate more about this
mysterious subject, so they
interviewed people in their school and their neighborhoods.
The first person to help them was Jimmy’s mom. She told him that one of
the R’s was for Recycling. –"What is recycling?”, Jimmy asked.
2. -“Recycling is when you take a material, for example a plastic bottle, and
regain its material to make something new, let’s say barrettes for your
sister’s hair. You can recycle plastic, metal, paper, glass and a whole
bunch of things…”
-Thank you mom! I got it!
Daniel, who is Jimmy’s best friend, asked his grandmother about the “4R”
and she told him that one of the R was for
Reusing. -“Reusing is when you continue to
use the same material over and over. I use
the same bottle to carry water, instead of
buying a new one every time I’m thirsty. You
3. could use the same plastic bag every time you go shopping.”
Having “recycling” and
“reusing” on their minds,
Jimmy and Daniel asked
Carlos to help them research
about the other two R’s. Carlos
told the guys that they should
ask their teachers, so they did
it. Their Social Studies teacher told them that the third R was for reducing.
-“What kind of thing can you reduce?” the three of them asked at the same
time. –“Several”, the teacher said. “”When you are giving a small present,
you can wrap it in a small piece of paper instead of putting it in a big box.
Also, when you go to the supermarket you can buy your groceries in bags
instead of buying them on plastic container.” Carlos responded to the
teacher and the boys –“That’s true. My mom buys a bag of liquid soap and
pours it into a bottle we have at home.”
“Now we just need to find out what is the meaning of the last R”, Jimmy
said. They asked other teachers, but
they did not know the answer. At last,
they asked their Science teacher and he
told them “That’s an easy question. The
answer is rejecting. When you bring
4. your own bags to the supermarket,
you are rejecting other plastic bags.
When you reuse the boxes and bags
they give you at the grocery store,
you are rejecting to produce more garbage. When you carry your own
bottle, you are rejecting to buy another bottle that may end up in a river.
As you see, you can help the environment by rejecting.”
In that way, Jimmy, Daniel, and Carlos solved the mystery of the “4R’s”.
Recycling¸ reusing, reducing, and rejecting were the keys, not only to solve
this enigma, but to help the environment and win the contest. They told
this information to their classmates, and together they won the contest by
implementing the 4Rs. Would you implement them too?
