TASK 1 FOR ALL CLASSES: MEASURE WHAT YOU TREASURE:

Europe generates large amounts of waste: food and garden waste, construction and demolition
waste, mining waste, industrial waste, sludge, old televisions, old cars, batteries, plastic bags,
paper, sanitary waste, old clothes and old furniture… the list goes on.

Poor waste management contributes to climate change and air pollution, and directly affects
many ecosystems and species.

The three R's – reduce, reuse and recycle – all help to cut down on the amount of waste we
throw away. They conserve natural resources, landfill space and energy. Plus, the three R's
save land and money communities must use to dispose of waste in landfills.

On an A4 size sheet, explain the three R’s as per the topic allotted to your class
