a loss of more resources and more energy For example, if a customer buys a high- (3) 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 the manufacturers To reduce garbage, the throw-away 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 return them to the stores The manufacturers of the drinks collect 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 throw-away bottles The third step 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 Question 35: Which area is considered one of the most industrialized?
