Topic 21, Day 1.
Ananda, what’s this week’s topic?
This week’s topic is: What can we do to reduce waste? What can we do to reduce waste?
Reduce waste?
Waste.
Yeah, that’s right.
This week, we’ll be talking about things we can do to reduce waste.
It’s a very important topic right now.
Exactly. Have you ever heard of the “three Rs”?
Oh, yes. Mm-hmm.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I think I have.
So, Fuku, can you say the three words starting with “R”?
Reduce, reuse, recycle.
Yes, that’s right.
Yeah, that’s right.
These days, some people have added more words, such as “Reform.” So, “Reduce,”
“Reuse,” “Recycle” and “Reform.” All start with “Re-” “R,E.”
Fuku, can you guess what the “Re-” in “Reuse” means?
Re-?
Yeah. What does “Re-” mean in “Reuse?”
Means “again?”
Oh, exactly. That’s right. “Re-” means “again.”
So, “Reuse” means “to use again.”
That’s right. So, here’s another example: Rethink. Before you throw something away, you can think again, or rethink it.
Hmm. Yes, exactly. And then if you think you can use it again, you can reuse it.
If you can’t reuse it, maybe you can recycle it.
