The 5 R’sby Ruairi Doherty 9D

• Respect: humans today exploit the earth , they live as 9f being in charge of it means doing what they please with it’s resources. Looking after the earth means treating it and all it contains with respect. God calls us to do this and god warns us to encourage others to do the same.

People need to change their attitude and their actions.

• Reduce : people in the us and in Europe use up 50 times more of what the earth has than people in the developing world. The earths sources are limited. They will run out very soon unless we change. We need to use less energy

• Most people in our earth throw stuff out than can be recycled. We must finds other uses than dumping them. Looking after the earth means doing more recycling and its will be cheaper and easier. Littering and careless are unnecessary disposal waste.

• If people want to use things more than once they should find out different ways to use it if its broke. And it will stop the amount of rubbish.

• When people take quite time to reflect and pray. It is easier to live in the right relationship with others, with the earth, and with god. The care and appreciate more for the earth. It is harder for us to show care when we are stressed.
