SEA STARS

Sea stars, commonly called, “starfish” are not fish. Sea stars live underwater, but that is where their
resemblance to fish ends. They do not have gills, scales, or fins. Sea stars live only in saltwater. Sea
water, instead of blood, is actually used to pump nutrients through their bodies via a 'water vascular
system.'

Also, sea stars move by using tiny tube feet located on the underside of their bodies. With so many
little legs, starfish can reach enormous speeds. Adult sunflower sea stars can move at the astonishing
speed of one meter per minute using 15,000 tube feet. Tube feet also help sea stars hold their prey.

Sea stars are related to sand dollars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers, all of which are echinoderms,
meaning that they have five-point radial symmetry. However, this does not mean that all sea stars
have five arms and species with 10, 20, or even 40 arms exist! If one of these arms is lost, a sea star
has the amazingly ability to regenerate it.

Recycling is important in today’s world if we want to leave this planet for our future generations. It is
good for the environment, since we are making new products from the old products which are of no
use to us. There are many reasons why it’s important to recycle as much as possible.

Making new products out of recycled materials reduces the need to consume precious resources. So
recycling helps protect raw materials and protect natural habitats for the future.

Using recycling materials in the manufacturing process uses considerably less energy than that
required for producing new products from raw materials.

Recycling reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining and processing
raw materials all of which create substantial air and water pollution. As recycling saves energy, it also
reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change.

There are over 1,500 landfill sites in the UK and, in 2001, these sites produced a quarter of the UK’s
emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that is released as the biodegradable waste (such
as food and paper) decomposes. Existing landfill sites are filling up fast and there is very limited
space for new ones.

A massive reduction in the amount of waste we send to landfill is required if we are to avoid the
heavy fines and the landfill taxes that are being imposed by Central Government on councils that
exceed their landfill allowances. Increases in your Council Tax or service cuts in other areas would be
the only way of paying these penalties.

processing raw materials all of which create substantial air and water pollution.”

Based on this quote, we conclude that the writer is telling us that ….

A. recycling saves us money
