Saving the Earth – what should we do? Everyday we produce many tons of waste. All things what we buy are in wrappings.

After the using the things we throw them away. What happens with them? Some materials are useful and we can reuse them, some of them are dangerous and we

have to be careful with them.

Nowadays is very important to save our enviroment, use the right materials, produce less

waste and reuse the wate as much as possible. I. Find out:
