Talent 21 Project By: Gabbie Ervin
The 3 R’s… • Reduce-An example I could “reduce” my family’s water bill by taking shorter showers. • Reuse- For example to “reuse” I could use a reusable water bottle instead of a plastic one. • Recycle- An example of “recycling” would be if I separated the paper, cardboard, glasses, etc. from my other trash that isn’t biodegradable. • To reduce means to cut down on something, you can cut down on water wastage, gas production, and other things too. To reuse something means to use it again like a reusable water bottle, and containers. To recycle means that what you buy you don’t waste it and let it go to dumps that are killing our earth, you can buy biodegradable things so it will disintegrate and better our mother earth. Another word you could use would be “Reinvent” this means to take something you already have and going to throw away like for examples bottle caps and you could make a necklace or jewelry or a slingshot. • http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/explore/reduce/index.htm (Not ACUA)

Re-Invent a 2 liter bottle… • If I were to re-invent a 2 liter bottle I would make a fish tank. Then I would cut off the top and put colorful rocks in the bottom and put a little decoration like a tiny fake plant, piece of coral, or maybe a bigger rock. Then I would fill it up with water and of course put a fish.
