to help. But, what exactly does that mean?
Use It Up
You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. Use
the last little piece of soap. Don't throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.
Wear It Out
You do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers have broken laces, but they still
fit you. Repair them and wear them longer. You don't have the latest iPhone until the old one doesn't work
anymore. Then you can get a new one. Think twice before replacing something that still works.
Make It Do
When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place.
Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich. You are out of butter. Have
a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just
throwing them away. With a little thought, you can make something do, instead of buying something new.
Do Without
Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you
really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up your world's resources(资源). And, getting rid of the things we don't want any more takes up even more resources and space.

Why do we need to throw less away? There are two reasons．One is that some resources(资源)are nonrenewable(不可再生的)．That means there is only a certain amount of that resource in the world．One example of these resources is oil．When we use up all the oil in the world, there will be no more．
There is a second reason for throwing less away．All of our trash has to be put somewhere．Often, it is put into garbage dumps(垃圾场)．Much of that trash will be there for hundreds of years．The dumps ill be filled up with all this trash．
There are three ways to cut down on trash．
One way is to recycle．When you recycle something, it means it is made into another shape and used again．Old newspapers may become paper bags．A glassware can be melted(熔化)and made into a bottle．
Another way to cut down on trash is to reuse things．You can wash and use a bottle again that can hold mustard(芥末酱)or something else．
The third way to cut down on trash is to reduce the amount of trash you make, for example, stopping buying things that you don't need in the first place．That reduces the amount of the earth's resources．
