A Sea Turtle and a Plastic Straw
A team of scientists from Texas University helped an injured sea turtle while they were sailing in the ocean near Costa
Rica.

of the turtle as it was swimming near their boat. At first, they thought it was just a worm.
Curious, the scientists caught the turtle to examine the object in its nose. They wanted to make sure it wasn’t a dangerous
parasite. Using pliers, they extracted a few centimetres of the object. It was wrinkled and brownish. It turned out to be a
plastic drinking straw!
The scientists quickly removed the object because they were far from land. It took them almost ten minutes to pull the

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
There are three ways to make the Earth a greener place: reduce, reuse, and recycle. When people reduce, it means they
are using less of something. This means less waste. Turning off the water when we brush our teeth is a way of reducing.
We don’t waste water by doing this.
Reusing is using the things we already have again. We can use reusable shopping bags made of cloth instead of plastic
bags when we go to a supermarket. Using both sides of the paper is also a way of reusing it.
Finally, we can recycle. Recycling is the process of creating new materials from old ones. Materials like paper, plastic,
and metal can be recycled. You can recycle things like newspapers, soda cans, plastic containers, and magazines. If we
want to live in a green and clean world, we must take care of our world.
