　　Without air, water and sunlight there would be no living things. Because they are so important, ecosystems¹ try to be very careful with these valuable resourses.

In fact, nature is much better at recycling than we humans are. Maybe we should learn from nature and become better recyclers—if we throw away too much, we may be throwing away our future.
We all care about nature and the environment, but we may not always do everything we could or should. Scientists who know a lot about the environment say that we should " Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Respond". Let's see what that means.
