Reduce‚ Re-use‚ and Recycle The more electricity we use‚ the more fossil fuels we burn and the more pollution goes into the sky. The more water we use‚ the harder the pumps have to work‚ therefore using more energy. The more paper we waste‚ the more trees and animal habitats are destroyed‚ inevitably leading to many species’ extinction‚ and more pollution‚ from the machines that destroy them. The more we reuse and recycle‚ the less we have to waste‚ and the more of this Earth we can save.
