In the world today, particularly in the two most induatrialized 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 humburger 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.
