Many of the old landfills have poisons that can make water and soil (土壤) around them dangerous to your health. What can we do to help?
Follow the three R’s: REUSE, REFUSE, and RECYCLE.
　REUSE You don’t need new bags every time you go to the store Reuse the old ones---and you had better use cloth bags, not plastic ones.
　REFUSE Stop buying anything that is over –packaged. Also look for products 　that come in boxes made of recycled cardboard(硬纸板).
　RECYCLE People can use cans, newspapers and plastic bottles again. So don’t throw them away. Send them to the recycling center.
（ ）If we go shopping we needn’t take any bags because there are enough plastic bags.
