The 3 R's (Gen Gen)

Review of the 3 R's

QuestionAnswer
Why should we recycle? To keep land, water and air clean and to have enough resources so other people can enjoy them too.
What happens to items that are not recycled They end up in the trash. Then a garbage truck will move it to a landfill. At a landfill trash is buried and it can also be burned which leads to air pollution.
How is the hydrosphere(water) affected by pollution? Water can get dirty. Then we cannot use it for drinking, bathing and cooking. Animals and plants that live in the water may die.
How is the atmosphere(air) affected by pollution? It gets dirty with chemicals and gases that cause smog. The air can be too dirty to breathe.
How is the geosphere (land) affected by pollution? Trash is unhealthy, and can make people, animals and plants sick. Chemicals on the land can wash into the water and cause pollution.
How is the biosphere (life) affected by pollution? Plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria can get sick and die when the other spheres are polluted.
How does recycling impact the environment? It helps save our natural resources. When we reduce, reuse, and recycle, we lessen our negative impact on the earth.
