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

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.
