Protecting the Earth
Grade 2 · Science · Earth and Its Resources · Massachusetts, USA
Lesson Summary
We can protect the Earth by reducing, reusing, and recycling.

Taking care of our planet is everyone's job. The three R's — Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle — help us protect the Earth. Reduce means using less of something, like turning off lights when you leave a room. Reuse means using something again instead of throwing it away, like using a water bottle many times. Recycle means turning old materials into new products, like making new paper from old paper.
