It's March 18th: Recycling Day
Event Description
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.
