V. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

Waste, and how we choose to handle it, affects our world's environment. The environment is
everything around you including the air, water, land, plants, and man-made things. And since by now
you probably know that you need a healthy environment for your own health and happiness, you can
understand why effective waste management is so important to you and everyone else. The waste we
create has to be carefully controlled to be sure that it does not harm your environment and your health.
Waste is anything we throw away or get rid of, that doesn’t get used. You can help by learning about
and practicing the three R's of waste management: Reduce, reuse, and recycle! Practicing all three of
these activities every day is not only important for a healthy environment, but it can also be fun too. So,
let's take a minute right now to learn more about waste and waste management, so you can become a
key player in making our world a safe and healthy place. To conclude my speech, recycling is very
important when it comes to the preserving the environment. We only have one Earth and the things we
do everyday are constantly destroying it. We can create a better and safer environment to live for today
and the next generation.
