1. Mini-MCT Justify why humans would want to prevent pollution

2. Today we can learn about how humans can prevent pollution

3. There are three main ways that humans can prevent pollution. They are called: Reduce Reuse Recycle

4. Reduce means lowering the amount of pollution you make

5. For example: Making a car that uses less gas Turning off the lights when you aren’t home

6. Reuse means using things again instead of throwing them away How will that reduce pollution? For example: Using a metal water bottle instead of a plastic water bottle

7. Recycling is when you save parts of your garbage and send them to a factory so that they can be made into other things Instead of throwing things in the trash you can throw them in recycling bins

8. At recycling places, they will take your plastic, paper, and metal and turn it into other stuff

9. Let’s practice…. 1) Markia sends his paper to recycling factory instead of throwing it in the garbage 2) Dimitri turns off the air conditioner when he leaves the house 3) When she goes shopping, Ms. Downing brings her old plastic bags so she doesn’t have to use new ones
