       根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

    Most of us don't like to think too much about rubbish. _______71_______. However, household waste is a major contributor to our planet's waste problem. Like it or not, it needs to be managed if we are to have a brighter green future.

    When it comes to being responsible for our own rubbish, the best way to approach it is by following the three golden rules of waste management, or the '3Rs'—Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

    "The order is important. _______72_______," says Eugene Tay, Director of Green Future Solutions in Singapore. "Recycling still affects the environment and should be done last after reduce and reuse."

    But, when our efforts to reduce and reuse still result in an overflowing rubbish bin, the advantages of recycling cannot be ignored. "_______73_______," says Amy Ho, Managing Director of World Wide Fund For Nature in Singapore. "The damage to our environment could then be slowed down as a result."

    In fact, by recycling just one plastic bottle, you are saving not just the material to make a new one, but you also stop it from getting thrown into a landfill (垃圾掩埋场) for up to 700 years—and that's before it even starts to rot. _______74_______.

    Recycling is so important that we really have no excuse not to do the simplest of household tasks that will make a difference.

    "_______75_______," says Ho. "Starting with recycling grey water for gardening purposes, to recycling materials such as glass, paper and iron--it all reduces the use of raw materials."
