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 stories, a shopper has to buy products in blisters 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 reuse cups
and utensils. 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 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 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 can 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.

Our eyes and ears might be called transformers because they sense the light and sound around us and turn them
into electrical impulses that the brain can interpret. These electrical impulses that have been transformed by the eyes and
ears reach the brain and are turned into messages that we can interpret. For the eye, the process begins as the eye admits
light waves, bends them at the cornea and lens, and then focuses them on the retina. At the back of each eye, nerve fibers
bundle together to form optic nerves, which join and then split into two optic tracts. Some of the fibers cross so that part
of the input from the right visual field goes into the left side of the brain, and vice versa. The process in the ear is carried
out through sensory cells that are carried in fluid- filled canals and that are extremely sensitive to vibration. Sound that is
transformed into electricity travels along nerve fibers in the auditory never. These fibers form a synapse with neurons that
carry the messages to the auditory cortex on each side of the brain.
