[00:02.90]Save Your World!What Is Garbage?Garbage is everything that you throw away.

[00:13.06]What do we do with garbage?We bury or burn most garbage.

[00:19.54]Burying garbage is quick and easy but uses a lot of land.

[00:26.07]Most land near cities and towns is already used.

[00:31.71]There's no place to put garbage.Sometimes,buried garbage pollutes our water.

[00:40.25]When rain falls on garbage,

[00:44.33]it runs through the garbage and then into rivers,lakes and oceans.

[00:50.68]When we burn garbage,we pollute the air.

[00:55.43]What are the "three Rs"?In North America and other parts of the world,

[01:02.69]people have started to make less garbage.

[01:07.37]How?First,they buy fewer things.They try to buy only what they really need.

[01:16.02]When you buy fewer things,you throw away fewer things.

[01:21.79]Second,they reuse 1 things.They use things,and then they use them again!

[01:30.04]Third,they recycle things.They make old things into new things.

[01:37.10]In North America,people call these the "three Rs":reduce,reuse and recycle.

[01:45.35]The three Rs help us remember that garbage is a problem!

[01:51.91]Jenny:When you "bury" something, you put it under the ground.

[01:57.05]Brian:What does "burn" mean? "Burn" and "fire" go together.

[02:03.01]Danny:Garbage is a world dirty.

[02:09.67]But what can we do? word "use" in "reuse"?In English,"re" means 2 "again.

[02:22.13]"How do you "retell"a story?

[02:26.08]You tell it again!How do you "redraw" a picture?

[02:31.82]You draw it again!A Poster about Pollution

[02:40.57]Jenny:The school yard cleanup went well.

[02:44.62]The school yard looks beautiful now.

[02:48.99]Brian:Yes.There was so much rubbish before.

[02:53.45]Thinking about it makes me mad.Danny:It makes me a bit sad.

[03:00.40]People shouldn't litter.The world would be so much nicer.

[03:06.96]Jenny:That's not all A lot of thatgarbage could be recycled.

[03:13.12]We found metal,glass,plastic and lots of paper.

[03:19.39]I take out the garbage.

[03:27.75]Sometimes I find things in it that should be recycled.

[03:33.21]I always take them out and keep them.

[03:37.65]Jenny:Everyone should do that.

[03:41.31]Then there would be a lot less pollution in the world!

[03:46.77]Brian:I have an idea Let's make a poster about littering and recycling!

[03:53.43]Jenny:I'll get a big piece of paper and some markers.

[03:58.47]Danny:We can put the poster up in the classroom.

[04:03.33]Then everyone can read itStop Pollution!

[04:09.57]We have a nice,clean school yard.

[04:13.73]Let's keep it that way.Don't litter!

[04:18.46]Always put your garbage in a garbage can.Never throw it on the ground.

[04:25.09]Recycle!Stop and think before you throw something out:

[04:30.94]Can I use this again?

[04:34.49]Can this be recycled?Together,we can keep our world clean!

[04:41.34]What Are Hazardous 3 Wastes?"Hazardous" means dangerous.

[04:48.52]Some hazardous wastes are poisons--they make people sick.

[04:55.05]Some explode very easily,or burn very easily.

[04:59.02]Hazardous things usually have these labels:"poison,"

[05:07.67]"caution," "warning"or"danger."What can we do about hazardous wastes?

[05:16.63]Buy less of them!Try not to buy bleach 4.Try to use fewer batteries 5.

[05:24.57]And when you take out the garbage,don't take out your hazardous wastes!

[05:31.94]Hazardous wastes in your garbage are bad for the environment.Why?

[05:38.18]Because we usually bury or burn our garbage.

[05:43.46]When we bury or burn hazardous wastes,

[05:48.00]they can make people and the environment sick.

[05:52.44]Many countries have laws about hazardous wastes.

[05:57.17]The laws say you can't bury or burn hazardous wastes with other garbage.

[06:03.65]Many cities in North America keep their hazardous wastes in special places.

[06:10.31]Some have ways to burn

[06:13.86]it at very high temperatures:900 to 1,100 degrees centigrade 6.

[06:22.41]Some places put wastes two kilometres under the ground.

[06:28.18]That's deep!Danny:I don't understand!Why don't we call it "hazardous garbage"?

[06:37.32]Jenny:Because a"waste" can be a liquid or a solid 7.

[06:42.68]"Garbage" is usually solid,like paper or plastic,

[06:48.42]but many hazardous wastes are liquids.

[07:04.80]It had so much hazardous waste that it caught fire.

[07:10.37]It took days to put the fire out.Riding in Rubbish!

[07:19.43]Danny has been working all afternoon.

[07:23.98]First,he fixed 9 the broken car he found.

[07:28.34]Then he washed the glue off his hands,face and legs.

[07:33.69]Now,he looks at the other garbage for recycling.

[07:39.15]"There are a lot of interesting things here,"he says.

[07:45.03]"I think I'll make something out of this garbage!

[07:50.60]"Danny sees a very big cardboard 10 box."Somebody got a new television,"

[07:58.64]he says,"and they threw out this box.It's so big that I can fit inside it!

[08:07.89]I know I can make something with this."He looks for other things to use.

[08:15.05]He finds five big, round pieces of plastic.

[08:20.79]They are the lids 11 from ice cream pails 12.

[08:25.23]"I know,"says Danny,"I will make a car.

[08:30.09]This cardboard box will be the car's body.

[08:35.13]These ice cream lids will be the wheels.

[08:40.70]"Danny glues four wheels onto the cardboard box.

[08:46.05]"I have one more lid 8.I know!It will be the steering 13 wheel.

[08:53.42]I can hold onto it and drive the car.

[08:58.59]"Danny finds many other things for the car.

[09:03.35]He uses old metal cans for the headlights of the car.

[09:09.09]He finds pieces of wood to sit on.Finally,

[09:15.15]Danny rings up Jenny and Brian."Come over to my house," he says."

[09:22.73]I'll take you for a ride in my new car!Where do you want to go?

[09:30.59]"Global 14 WarmingWhat is global warming?
