Have you every thrown something on the ground just because 

you did not feel like walking to the trash can after finishing your 

food? Well, your not alone. Almost everybody has done that at 

least once. The truth is, it's not good for the Earth and the 

animals and humans who depend on this planet. This is because 

when you carelessly throw that little piece of trash on the ground, 

it flies away to another place somewhere on Earth when you 

think it just disappears. Some healthy habits you can develop is 

not buying a new water bottle and just drink from a water 

fountain. You can also bring your own bag to a shopping center 

and refrain from using plastic bags, and buying new water 

bottles. Here is a story of how one person can make a difference.

This is John, he is going to find out how much of a 

difference he can make by setting a wonderful example 

for all of his friends, family, and community. 

First off, John does not really think about all the R's, 

reduce, reuse, and recycle. He also does not know much 

about composting. In this book , john will be showing 

you how to do all those things and will also be learning a 

huge lesson along the way which will help the Earth a 

whole lot.

One day, John was eating a piece of candy while walking 

along the city streets. When he was finished with his 

treat, he left the wrapper on the ground. When his 

teacher saw this, she told John that he should not do 

that. John asked,"But why? All I did was throw it on the 

ground, it will fly away out of my life and I won't have to 

worry about it." The teacher, Mrs.Collins told John that it 

does not just disappear, it flies away to somewhere else 

where maybe, an animal might eat it and choke. Mrs. 

Collins said that she would talk about littering tomorrow 

in class.

In class the next day, Mrs. Collins explained that 

throughout the week , she will be explaining how we 

can help save the Earth. Today she explained the three 

R's. 

Reduce,

Reuse,

And Recycle.

She explained that in order to reduce, you minimize the amount 

of   waste products you use like plastic. To reuse, you take a item 

that could be thrown away like plastic water bottles and refill 

them and use them again. To recycle, you take unwanted items 

you would regularly throw away and place them in a blue bin in 

your classroom with a sign like this:

The products placed in this bin will

be melted and turned into something

else. Like a new water bottle.
