environment is called Ecosystem. The lives of people,
animals, and trees will be in danger if we continue to
destroy our environment.

2. Dispose the garbage properly, whether at home,
school or even in the community to keep the

Reduce—use less and buy less paper materials to save
trees. Use both sides of the paper. Buy and use only
what you need.

Reuse – Bring reusable cloth sacks when shopping, for

groceries and other household needs. This practice
minimizes the need for plastics and paper bags. This
will mean that, less garbage that will go to the landfill.
