Recycle – Reduce – Reuse

 

[1] Easier – Recycle means to process old, used items in order that the material can be used to

make new products. Examples of things that are often recycled are glass, plastic,

newspapers, aluminum cans, used motor oil, and batteries. Here, reduce refers to lessening

the amount of items or resources that are consumed, using only the amount that is needed,

[5] and looking for alternatives that will lessen our use. And reuse means extending the 'life' or

repurposing an item rather than discarding or throwing it away.

Harder – Recycling is the processes of collecting, processing, remanufacturing, and reusing

materials instead of discarding them. This helps conserve raw materials and energy that

manufacturers would otherwise use in producing new products. Recycling also reduces the

[10] amount of material going into landfills. Recycling helps lessen the pollution that may result

from waste disposal. Reducing our consumption of materials and reducing the waste of

materials also adds to the conservation of our resources.

TEXT 2

The merry adventures of Robin Hood

By Howard Pyle

 

[1] I tell you plainly that if you go farther you will be scandalized by seeing good, sober folks of

real history so frisk and caper in gay colors and motley that you would not know them but for

the names tagged to them. Here is a stout, lusty fellow with a quick temper, yet none so ill

for all that, who goes by the name of Henry II. Here is a fair, gentle lady before whom all the

[5] others bow and call her Queen Eleanor. Here is a fat rogue of a fellow, dressed up in rich

robes of a clerical kind, that all the good folk call my Lord Bishop of Hereford. Here is a

certain fellow with a sour temper and a grim look-- the worshipful, the Sheriff of Nottingham.

And here, above all, is a great, tall, merry fellow that roams the greenwood and joins in

homely sports, and sits beside the Sheriff at merry feast, which same beareth the name of

[10] the proudest of the Plantagenets--Richard of the Lion's Heart. Beside these are a whole host

of knights, priests, nobles, burghers, yeomen, pages, ladies, lasses, landlords, beggars,

peddlers, and what not, all living the merriest of merry lives, and all bound by nothing but a

few odd strands of certain old ballads (snipped and clipped and tied together again in a score

of knots) which draw these jocund fellows here and there, singing as they go.
