Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized
areas, North America and Europe, recycling is big news. People
are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding was to use
products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is
"Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to
buy products in blister packs, boxes and expensive plastic
wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots
of packaging: usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging
is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that are
wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils đồ dùng, dụng
cụ. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products.

When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them
away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more
energy. For example. if a customer buys a high-quality appliance
that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an
important message. In the same way. if a customer chooses a
product with less packaging, that customer sends an important
message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the
throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft
drinks in returnable bottles. After customers. empty the bottles,
they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks
collect the bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The
energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some
parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common
practice. In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little
glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle.
Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used again. Aluminum cans
are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to
make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three
hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans),
they help save one of the world's precious resources.
