It is important to collect water for reuse. We

can collect rainwater by leaving empty buckets

outside our homes. The water we collect may be

used to water plants and wash vehicles. We can

also collect waste-water from washing

machines to clean drains, porches and flush

toilets. Thus, it saves our water bills and helps

to conserve water.

sentence
Rewrite in them in a paragraph. You may use cursive writing.

We must avoid using disposable items. Plastic

cups, bags and containers take a long time to

decompose. A plastic bag takes a minimum of

twenty years to decompose. We can use our own

bags or refuse to accept plastic bags during

shopping. Thus, we can reduce the amount of waste

going into the landfills.
