There is another reason for throwing less away. All of our trash has to be put somewhere. Often , it is put into garbage dumps (垃圾场) . Much of that trash will be there for hundreds of years. The dumps will be filled up with all this trash. There are three ways to cut down on trash.

One way is to recycle. When you recycle something, it means it is made into another shape and used again. Old newspaper may become paper bags. A glass jar can be melted (熔化) and made into a bottle .
