Promise yourself.

Plant a sapling on your

birthday every year and
see it growing. Add

water, manure etc. You
will be proud and love
to see it growing.

Animals should also be treated kindly.

3R’s

The 3R’s stand for reduce, reuse and recycles.

Reduce : We should reduce the use of natural resources. For example,

reduce the use of petroleum products.

Reuse : We should reuse the things. For example, use clothes, napkins
that can be washed and reused instead of paper napkins.

Recycle : Water used to wash vegetables can be used to water plants.

3R’s will surely protect our natural resources.

The government of India has started “project tiger” to protect the tigers.

This is because the number of tigers in India is getting extinct.

* Resources which are given by the nature are called natural resources.
* Resources which are made by man are called man-made resources.

* The uppermost layer of the earth’s crust is soil.
* Plants cool the air, hold the soil and cause rainfall.

* Wastes should not be thrown in the open.

* 3 R’s will surely protect our natural resources.
