the world today, particular in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe, recycling is the big news People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time The motto of the recycling movement is “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” The first step is to reduce garbage In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging] usually paper, a box and a bag All that packaging is wasted resources People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils Another way to reduce waste is to buy high quality products When low-quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy For example, if a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop The second step is to reuse It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles After customers empty the bottles, they return them to the stores The manufacturers of the drinks collect bottles, wash them, and then fill them again The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved In some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throw-away bottles The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used again Aluminum cans are expensive to make It takes the same amountof energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world’s precious resources Question 43: It is a waste when customers buy low-quality products because A customers always change their idea B they are very cheap C they
