18 березня. Всесвітній день переробки

Метою Всесвітнього дня переробки є підвищення усвідомленості про важливість зменшення кількості сміття, а також про способи його переробки. Цей день нагадує кожному з нас, що ми можемо внести свій вклад у збереження навколишнього середовища. Варто зменшувати відходи та з відповідальністю ставитися до сортування сміття.

Слово дня: “ПЕРЕРОБЛЯТИ” -  піддаючи обробці, перетворювати на що-небудь, виготовляти щось із якогось матеріалу, сировини.

Компанія впровадила нові технології для того, щоб переробляти сміття і використовувати його у виробництві.

The word of the day: reduce (verb) /rɪˈdjuːs/

Meaning:to make something smaller or less in amount, degree, or size.

Example:We reduce our plastic waste by using reusable water bottles.
