Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

Hey Peoples And Persons! It's Me-Rox! I know you probably don't want to hear just a bunch of definitions, but that's what you need to understand the blog and the purposes. (Maybe.)

I bet that you have all heard of the saying "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle". And we all know about doing all of that. But how do we Reuse and Reduce?

Reuse - If you grow out of a sweater or a t-shirt, don't just throw it away, give it to a younger relative as a hand-me-down or donate it to a homeless shelter or a thrift store. Clothing is made from plants. And those plants probably don't intend their clothing to be used for a year or so. And we can't be expected to use our clothing longer than that -- we can't help growing.

Reduce - If you really think about it, it's simple. We use the word all the time, we just aren't familiar with it in the phrase. What people mean when they use it is that you shouldn't use too much of things. Like if you keep the water running while you're brushing you're teeth, you should probably turn it off. Or if you keep the lights on in your house when they don't need to be on.

Okay I promise, no more definitions from now on.... Unless they're necessary! Which they hopefully won't be.

Me-Rox With the Meanings

Hey peoples and persons! It's Me-Rox! Sorry I just have to keep the tradition and keep starting my posts that way. It's what I do. So this is my very first post on the Do Your Part Blog!

What does Do Your Part mean?

do - verb, to perform an action.

your - possesive adjective, belonging to associate with any person in general.

part - noun, a piece or segment of something such as an activity.


green - adjective, the color made from green and yellow or a term for earth friendly.

Well, now you pretty much know what I mean, word-wise at least. But what part are we really referring to?

The answer is your part on this Earth. No one has really discovered the meaning of life or if there even is one. But in order to figure out, life must still exist. And the only known way of keeping our lives in existence is keeping our planet in tip-top shape. So we can't pollute the oceans or mindlessly kill animals and plants or most of all waste.

waste - verb, use or expend carelessly, extravagantly, or to no purpose.

What can we not waste? Food! Clothing! Homes! Money! Paper! Anything that other people or animals or plants need to survive! So at this blog you will learn how to Do Your Part, Go Green, and Not Waste! And while your here don't waste to much energy reading blogs and E-mailing your friends. Go out and do something worthy of the planet!
