P. 50
Presence of unwanted substances or things in an
environment is called pollution. We should not throw
garbage, plastics and waste in drains, sewers and
rivers.
Recycle
Waste is the garbage that is collected as result of leftover after your usage.
Most of things are bio-degradable, i.e. they rot and break up and become part of
the Earth. But some things like plastics do not break up. Plastics harm our
environment. They are not bio-degradable. Vegetables and fruits, waste paper
and clothes do not harm the environment. They can be recycled. Instead of
throwing away, we can recycle it. It means using again and again.
Recycling conserves our natural resources and also saves environment.
